The story continues: I installed separately the depedency compat-libstdc++ and then the install of flash-plugin got past the dependency check, but failed on the signature. So I installed with up2date --nosig and it worked. Later I saw a reference to missing GPG keys in rpm, so I added the key with rpm --import /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-1/RPM-GPG-KEY. That seemed to go okay, so to test, I did rpm -e flash-plugin and then tried to up2date flash-plugin again and it now hangs on "Fetching rpm headers...", and CPU goes to 99%. Ctrl-C doesn't kill it either, I need to Ctrl-Z and then kill -9. Packages from the default repositories (coincidentally all yum) seem to work. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
