- | I did install 4.0.4 on a vanilla R3K Indigo entry for some reason. Now, as
- | I want to upgrade to 4.0.5, it tells me that some prerequisites are not met to
- | install the maint images. Looking for 'versions' I got surprised in seeing the

- | indigo in OTHER way than downgrading to 4.0.1?
-
- You don't need to downgrade anything, just install the base systems
- that the maint images want (none of the stuff in the maint images
- is supposed to be in the eoe stuff, so no overlaps should occur
- between what the maint stuff wants, and 4.0.5). That doesn't
- sound very clear as I re-read, but maint images themselves can't
- be installed, unless some version of the product that the maint
- image is an update for, is already installed.
