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

[Mike Hoy <mhoy4@xxxxxxx>]

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?
