When you install the server then it also installs the client side which it can't because it's already there. But, ofcourse, these should not conflict. This c(sh)ould be solved by deinstalling the listed packages and install the server, then the reinstall the remaining packages. Alternatively, you can force deinstall the client or simply override the warning. Cheers, Erik -- Ph: +34.666334818 web: http://www.locolomo.org
