Hi again Everybody,

I started another install last night using Jarod's guide.

I got up to chapter 10 of Jarod's guide "apt-get install mythtv-suite"
and ran into some problems with conflicts. Here's what the end of the
apt-get results looked like...

===========================================================
[root at localhost mythtv]# apt-get install mythtv-suite

First off, is this a problem? or can it be safely ignored? Can they be
cleared without reloading everything?

If it is a problem, the first 4 conflicts are easy. When I was selecting
packages to install I checked Open Office. (force of habit) I can just
wipe the drive and install again without checking it and those 4 will go
away.

The last two have me concerned. Are those conflicts a problem? can they
be safely ignored?

If not, does anybody know how I can clear them?

Paul
