Following Gnome packages are installed on FC2; $ rpm -qa | grep gnome libgnomeprint11-0.25-ximian.7 (no) gnome-pilot-conduits-2.0.9-0.ximian.5.1 gnome-python2-2.0.0-4.1 gnome-icon-theme-1.2.0-1-1.4.1.2.90-40.i386.rpm gdk-pixbuf-gnome-0.22.0-5.0.1 gnome-vfs2-smb-2.6.0-8 libgnomeprint-1.116.0-10 gnome-session-2.6.0-4 pygnome-libglade-1.4.2-3 (no) gnome-spell1.0-1.0.4-0.ximian.5.1 (no) libgnomeprint22-2.6.0-1 libgnomeprint15-0.37-9 gnome-print-devel-0.37-9 pygnome-devel-1.4.2-3 gnome-vfs2-2.6.0-8 gnome-python2-bonobo-2.0.0-4.1 gnome-python2-canvas-2.0.0-4.1 system-switch-mail-gnome-0.5.25-1 gnome-spell-1.0.5-4.1 openssh-askpass-gnome-3.6.1p2-34 gnome-panel-2.6.0-9 gnome-audio-1.4.0-7 libgail-gnome-1.0.2-3.1 gnome-terminal-2.6.0-2 gnome-python2-applet-2.0.0-4.1 licq-gnome-1.2.7-3 redhat-switch-printer-gnome-0.5.16-1 (no) gnome-pilot-2.0.9-0.ximian.5.2 (no) ethereal-gnome-0.10.5-0.2.2 (ethereal-gnome-0.10.3-2) pygnome-1.4.2-3 (no) gnome-mime-data-2.4.1-4 gnome-keyring-0.2.0-1 libgnomecanvas-2.6.0-1 gnome-desktop-2.6.0.1-1 gnomemeeting-1.0.2-2 (no) gnome-user-docs-2.6.0.1-2 gnome-utils-2.6.0-2 gnome-vfs-extras-0.2.0-8.1 gnome-vfs-devel-1.0.5-18 gnome-print-0.37-9 gnome-libs-devel-1.4.1.2.90-40 gnome-applets-2.6.2.1-1 gnome-pilot-applet-2.0.9-0.ximian.5.2 (no) gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.0.0-4.1 libgnomecups-0.1.6-7 gnome-games-2.6.0.1-2 libgnomeprintui22-2.6.0-1 up2date-gnome-4.3.19-1 gnome-system-monitor-2.6.0-3 gnome-vfs-1.0.5-18 libgnomeui-2.6.0-3 gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-40 gnome-media-2.6.0-1 gnome-audio-extra-1.4.0-7 libgnomeprintui-1.116.0-6.1 libgnome-2.6.0-3 The above packages with (no) at their ends could not be found on FC2 mirror sites. I suppose they were carried forwards from RH8.0, not necssary for FC2. I'm prepared to erase all of them. ethereal-gnome-0.10.5-0.2.2 (ethereal-gnome-0.10.3-2) older version 'ethereal-gnome-0.10.3-2' found on FC2 mirror site. I suppose the newer version resulted from 'yum update' Now I have all of them downloaded to ~/user/Download/FC2/Gnome_packages/ I'm prepared to run # rpm -Fvh ~/user/Download/FC2/Gnome_packages/*.rpm hoping to solve dependencies problem. Any advice/comment would be appreciated.
