[PlanetCCRMA] Issues after upgrading to RH9

Well, I definitely have problems here.
I got qjackctl compiled, but only after I did an "rpm --erase --nodeps
qt-designer qt qt-devel" on my system. I first tried to get apt-get to
do a reinstall of packages, but it did some and not others. (Note that I'd
put ReInstall "true"; in the APT::Get section of my /etc/apt/apt.conf file)
[jh at xtc jh]# apt-get install qt-designer qt2-Xt qt qt-devel qt2

Why just these 2 and not the others? I dunno. But at any rate, I did
the rpm --erase as noted above, then did the apt-get on the 3 packages that
I couldn't re-install. That went fine, and I was then able to compile
qjackctl just fine.
This raises the very serious question of how to get my system completely
up to speed on RH9. Since I'd already had a system that was up to date on
Redhat 7.3 when I ran the upgrade to RH9.0, some, if not most of my packages
are compiled with gcc2.95. This, as we have seen, is a problem when trying
to build new software with gcc3.2.2!
I think I may take a list of the installed packages and force reinstallation
of all of 'em... that'd be easier than re-installing RH9 and letting it
scrag my / partition, anyway....
Thoughts????
