[R] .rpm (splines, ctest) install problem - LinuxPPC

[Ralph Brands and Laurel Brinton]

On a PMac 7200 (running LinuxPPC 3Q 99), trying to install
"R-ctest-0.9.R16-1.ppc.rpm" and "R-splines-2.0.R3-3.ppc.rpm" rpms currently
in the linuxppc binary download directory results in error messages saying
that files in these rpms conflict with files from R-base 1.01-1.

Of course, "R-rpart" and "R-survival4" then also can't be installed because
the above aren't installed.

Should I force install "R-ctest" and "R-splines"? I'm afraid to break
something in the base install without knowing it. Haven't found anything in
the help archives about this one.

Many thanks, Ralph Brands
