I have seen many messages from you saying this has been fixed and is in the CVS. I have one question that I believe has not been asked, If a fix is in CVS, Why has the fix not been moved to the YUM repositories so this no longer happens when using YUM to update a system???????

This is a tip from Pedro Macedo I got that worked: "Same answer I'm giving to everyone else: It's a know bug. Has been fixed and a fix is in CVS. Meanwhile , use yum --exclude=initscripts --exclude=ppp --exclude=pppd upgrade to update your system , while the corrected package isnt available. -- Pedro Macedo" -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
