Error Updating Software

[ichiakahoshi]

i am having trouble with my package updater, ive just instaled Fedora 6 and a message is poping up telling me there are 252 updates available, when i "apply updates" it loads ("resolving dependancies for updates) then tells me additional pacages required for proper operation

Adding for dependencies:
avahi-compat-howl-0.6.16-4.fc6
busybox-1.2.0-4
cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.22-4
meanwhile-1.0.2-3.fc6
perl-URI-1.35-3
perl-libwww-perl-5.805-1.1.1

i continue, it starts downloading the updates then an ERROR MESSAGE appears

error updating software
there were errors encountered in trying to update the software you selected
details:
('file /usr/bin/gaim conflicts between attempted installs of pidgin-2.0.2-3.fc6.1 and gaim-2.0.0-0.31.beta6.fc6', (6, '/usr/bin/gaim', 0L))

i dont have a clue how to solve this issue, i assume its a good thing to install these updates.
could anyone help a guy out?

Gaim is no more existing and pidgin stands as its successor. You should try to first remove Gaim and then install Pidgrin to solve the dependency issue.

As root:

rpm -e gaim

then

yum -y install pidgin
