As I said - I've been using FreshRPMS with RHL 7.3, 8.0 and 9 - this never happened (no conflicts). And speaking of other repos - use only one! I mean: Fedora + AtRPMS, or Fedora + FreshRPMS - I agree, as for now mixing addon repos leads to conflicts. But I can't think of a good solution to prevent this? Can you? Since Fedora (and Linux in general) is free anybody can make their own repo and anybody can use any repo... And people usualy do this due to limitations of Fedora and previous RHL. > > > I want cool apps too, but not at the price I might have to pay. > > What is the price of using Fedora and FreshRPMS?

I'am not saying that is not true but there is usualy a reason for this. PS.
