Re: Oracle 9i on Mandrake 10 failure

Hi Frank,

the problem is, it won't let me downgrade - dependency hell. You can't downgrade this version of glibc because there is some software (open Office etc) that needs it.

I suspect there's a manual force downgrade option that I haven't yet found. Must try using the command line again :o)

Cheers,
Norm.

PS. I tried this on Mandrake 9.x (9.2 probably) to get Oracle 9iR2 installed, but no joy. In the end, I downgraded Mandrake to 8.0, installed 9i and upgraded Mandrake again. All is well - until I have to relink Oracle :o)
