I had downloaded a bunch of RPM files using wget and used rpm -F to try to do the update. I assumed that I was either missing updated file or that I had a synchronization problems with some files I downloaded newer than others. For example, I am assuming that what is happening is that you have a less-than-current version of the psa-whatever packages and they are insisting on keeping old versions of libz.so etc. and keeping you from updating to new ones. If I understand what cvs is supposed to do, I would have been better off using cvs rather than wget. Hopefully, more knowledgeable people here can expand on this or will correct me if I am wrong. -- Phil PS I have had plenty of problems about 32- vs 64-bit libraries in FC2, especially with gtk2/gdk/pixbuf but I don't think it is the same thing and it merits a separate post.
