Eww. Grab a version of the connector that's been built for FC2 and stop messing around with symlinks and --nodeps, available from fedora.us for some time now: http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/2/i386/RPMS.stable/evolution-connector-1.4.7-0.fdr.3.2.i386.rpm > > The problem is that apt-get and Synaptic both hiccup on this package and > refuse to install any updates until the offending package has been > removed.

In the case of the connector you could probably get away with setting RPM::Ignore:: but you really don't want to do that, the real fix is to use a version built for your system. - Panu -
