That is annoying. If your browser has the diary page
cached, you will overwrite your last diary entry. The form
on the diary page has the entry number as a hidden
field.

I have been looking through what was installed when I did
the upgrade from RH6.1 to 6.2. It looks like it installed a
lot of kde stuff during the upgrade without asking (there
wasn’t any kde stuff before). A bit annoying, but not too
bad. What was annoying was when I tried to install a new
gnome-core RPM I had just built, and I get the following
message:

file
/usr/share/gnome/apps/.directory from install of
gnome-core-1.1.8-20000413 conflicts with file from package
kdebase-1.1.2-33

This seems fairly odd. Why would a file in
/usr/share/gnome/apps be part of kdebase? So I
decided to check what actually is in kdebase:

$ rpm -ql kdebase | grep gnome
/usr/share/applnk/gnome
/usr/share/gnome
/usr/share/gnome/apps
/usr/share/gnome/apps/.directory

On closer inspection, the file is a slightly
different
format from the one with gnome-core. Also, the one in the
kdebase RPM doen’t contain all the translations that are in
the gnome-core version.

Looking at the spec file for kdebase, the file
was
added
by whoever made the RPM. I think I will file a bug report
about this.
