So Updates-Testing is not for users to try and confirm that this update is ok to use? That is what I thought it was. I have an very simple idea that will solve your dependency problem here. Maybe once and for all. Enable the Update-Testing repo in your yum repo configurations. That way the next time that Fedora screws you by withholding their free software from you you can beat the game by getting it while they are still not sure that it works. ;-) That was said as humor - but you had the solution at hand the whole time that you have been complaining about it. Think about that. -- David
