Re: Is YUM superior to Synaptic ?? (was synaptic evolution)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



synaptic does automatically resolved dependencies, but not all.
for example try installing FC3 and then install evolution or amule.
not gonna work. amule will require the libcurl.so.2 fix (see thread about libcur.so.2)
and i've not yet fixed the evolution problem( see thread about "synaptic evolution")
could it be that i'm having problems because i'm in gnome?

Not a dumb question. no i have never tried anything other than synaptic. the reason is because early on a friend recommended it synaptic. he's the same guy that recomended FC3.

is yum superior to synaptic?

What is the group opinion on the best way to keep FC3 updated?

Advantages of apt and synaptic:

1. Shows you packages that are available, that you haven't already installed.

2.    Automatically resolves dependencies.

Does yum do these things?

And what is the name of yum's GUI front-end?
