Re: 2 versions of librsvg2 after updates on fresh install of FC5

W: There are multiple versions of "librsvg2" in your system.

True. Looking in synaptic I have libsrvg2#2.14.2-1, and
libsrvg2#2.14.4-1.fc5.1 .

/usr/lib shows librsvg-2.so.2 pointing to librsvg-2.so.2.14.4

Is it safe to just remove the earlier librsvg2#2.14.2-1 version from the
system?

Check libsrvg2#2.14.4-1.fc5.1 with rpm -V. If there's a problem,
re-install it (with rpm -U --oldpackage).

Then try removing the earlier package and see what happens (with rpm -e
or rpm -e --test). If anything complains, see if you can sort it out. If
RPM lets you, you're very unlikely to see any real problems.

In any case, this is hardly a system-critical library.

Hope this helps,

James.
