[ATrpms-users] Re: Cannot apt-get freetype-devel; installed version is newer (I think)

Wayne, that link is what made me think I should get the other
packages, and unfortunately, the path that individual took was not the
direction in which I wish to proceed.  Oh well, thanks for taking the
time to help troubleshoot.

Axel, I found the following file in your bleeding section:
qt-3.3.3-16_5.rhfc1.at.i386.rpm.  Was this the file to which you were
referring?  Also, since I'm on a ~1 year old version of FC1, should I
maybe consider upgrading to FC2 or FC3?  Obviously that would get me a
boatload of upgrades, but I'm wondering if that would be better as the
newer versions of MythTV are released.
