[Freetype] freetype1 vs freetype2 vs freetype [12].*

[Allan Gottlieb]

I am a little puzzled over the numbering of freetype.

I have a redhat 7.2 distribution with ximian gnome on top.
   rpm -qa | grep freetype
yields
    freetype-2.0.3-7
    freetype-devel-2.0.3-7
    freetype-utils-2.0.3-7

To run Eterm version 9, I need imlib2.  
    rpm -U imlib2-1.0.4-3.i686.rpm
yields
    freetype1 is needed by imlib2-1.0.4-3

Finally
    rpm -U freetype1-1.3.1-3.i686.rpm
yields
    file /usr/bin/ttmkfdir from install of freetype1-1.3.1-3 conflicts
    with file from package freetype-2.0.3-7

I am not quite sure what to do.  Is freetype-2.0.3-7 a version of
freetype2 and hence superior to freetype1?  If so, how should I
install imlib2?

thanks,
allan
