Which is a pitty. I had hoped to find Fedora Core Development or Fedora Core 3 Test entries in your configuration file. The package versions look like they're from Fedora Core 3 Test 1 or so. > How would you suggest fixing the problem machine? Can I downgrade swig? "rpm -Uvh --oldpackage swig* subversion*" with the packages from your installation CDs or downloaded from the web. Actually, newer versions of the swig package, e.g. in Fedora Core 3 Test releases, changed from providing libswigfoo.so to providing libswigfoo.so.0 versioned library names, which would break the dependency in the subversion package. Btw, you are highly encouraged to choose a mirror server instead of pointing yum to the primary and often overloaded site. -- Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) - Linux 2.6.8-1.541 loadavg: 0.12 0.13 0.10
