Re: [xine-user] Trying to upgrade from 0.9.13 - totally lost

[Florin A. <fl...@an...>]

If you're using the Freshrpms packages (which by the way are very good
packages) and have issues with RPM oddities, you'll be better off if you
could read the instructions on the Freshrpms site carefully, install apt
and use it to install/update xine automatically.
With apt, it's as simple as running:

apt-get install xine

Then you only need to install the QT stuff by hand, but the xine RPMs
will be installed for you by apt.
