[Mono-dev] proper way to upgrade mono installation?

[Jonathan Resnick]

I was able to install the rpms in mono-1.1.zip and gtk-sharp-1.0.zip
using the "rpm -Uvh *.rpm" method.  However, when I tried to install
rpms in gtk-sharp-2.0.zip, I get the following errors:

Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
        file /usr/share/gapi-2.0/art-api.xml from install of gtk-sharp2-gapi-2.8

.... (and many more errors of the same format)

Can anyone tell me what this means?

Thanks,
Jonathan
