The system is RH 7.0 , 2.4.12-ac3.
The system is a stable production Oracle server.
I got the following when trying to update tcpdump today:
=============================================
[root@xxxxxxx /root]# up2date tcpdump
Fetching package list for channel: redhat-linux-i386-7.0...

RPM package conflict error. The message was:
Test install failed because of package conflicts:
package openssl-0.9.6b-24 (which is newer than openssl-0.9.6-16) is already installed
===========================================
I am no linux wizard, but either I need to tell up2date that it should ignore the message and install it anyway, or i need to get back to openssl-0.9.16. This is only one of several patches that will not install due to the openssl version being "too new."
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
