This may be due to running without $DISPLAY set. Exception was: /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: pango_fc_font_map_cache_clear Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/system-config-packages/MainWindow.py", line 11, in ? sys.exit(0) NameError: name 'sys' is not defined [root@coyote root]# echo $DISPLAY :0.0 [root@coyote root]# ------------- So I'm right back where I started. The pango packages all verify, as do the python things, so I'm at a loss. Mozilla is the only downloading tool I have left that works because this exact error in /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 fscks virtually everything else, like gftp. Although yum is working now, it has also suffered in the past. I don't recall what I did to fix yum unforch. If anyone has any new ideas to try, I'm all eyes to read about them. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
