ASP will not update on Fedora 18

[macr237]

I hope someone can help me out, as I cannot get ASP to update and I think it may be something to do with the package information.
Every time I start ASP, it tells me that there is a new update, which I have downloaded. Every time I try to load it, get the attached image error.

I get the strange feeling that Fedora is having issues with the fact that it is version 0.0-0.0.
Can anyone suggest a way to force it to upgrade? Command line is fine as long as you tell me what I need to type.

It is some time since I used an RH based distro, but once you have started your console session, type the stuff in italics (normal face is comments)

cd Downloads - or wherever you downloaded the updated version to
rpm --freshen --force AfterShotPro_i386.rpm

And that should be it ... as long as you have the right privileges. If your system asks for the root password before allowing you to run updates, then you may need to do this as root. In which case, before the first line, do this:

su and supply the root password to the prompt

and after the update is complete, remember to exit twice!

Hello All

Speaking about Fedora 18, I wonder if the old Bibble 5 I am still using will work with Fedora 18.
It currently works well with Fedora 17 x64 I currently use, but unfortunately is end of life.
If someone has some experience of running Bibble 5 in FC18 or above, it would be very useful to know
Many thanks in advance for any input.

Ze Code, it does nothing!
I tried all of these:

Code: Select all

[root@Geekbook]# cd Downloads
[root@Geekbook Downloads]# rpm --freshen --force AfterShotPro_i386.rpm
[root@Geekbook Downloads]# rpm --force AfterShotPro_i386.rpm
rpm: only installation and upgrading may be forced
[root@Geekbook Downloads]# rpm --freshen AfterShotPro_i386.rpm
[root@Geekbook Downloads]#

Hello, try this:

Code: Select all

[root@Geekbook]# yum reinstall AfterShotPro_i386.rpm

Or, you can backup ~/.AfterShotPro directory, uninstall AfterShot, and install it again, if everything else fails. Then copy your defaults, profiles, presets, etc., back to the ~/.AfterShotPro directory. Probably all the former content except the cache.

As for B5 & Fedora 18 - just try it and let us know
