[conspire] Multiple versions of avahi ???

[Ken Bernard]

Hello all -

I am trying to install a new HP officejet multifunction, it is connected to
my small home network by Ethernet. On the computer running Fedora 9 (which
is an upgrade from Fedora 7) when I try to install the hplip software hp
recommends for Linux I am getting some difficulties.
First the hplip won't install because it depends on cups-devel.
So when I tried to install cups-devel I got this message from apt-get:
install cups-devel: * see below.

What is avahi  ?

Lugging a desktop and all it paraphernalia to CABAL is very difficult for
me, so if someone give me
an idea on how to proceed with this I would be grateful.

Thanks,
Ken Bernard

* The output message from apt-get install:

 [root at localhost ~]# apt-get install cups-devel

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

This package won't be cleanly updated, unless you leave
only one version. To leave multiple versions installed,
you may remove that warning by setting the following
option in your configuration file:

RPM::Allow-Duplicated { "^avahi$"; };

To disable these warnings completely set:

RPM::Allow-Duplicated-Warning "false";

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get --fix-broken install' with no packages
(or specify a solution).
