[ATrpms-users] How to back out of a libgcrypt conflict?

[Steve Cliffe]

Chuck,

I recall having this problem a few weeks ago when I went to upgrade to 
5.4. From memory I removed the old package with "rpm --erase --nodeps 
libgcrypt11", installed the new one then used "lsof /usr | grep gcrypt" 
to find out what running processes had the old shared library files open 
and restarted them.
