Hello, In an earlier thread i reported a problem with yum update but got no reply so i rebooted after the failed yum update and tried it again. This time the output from yum update executed as root is: Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Released Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers rmt-0-0.4b39-1.FC2.i386.h 100% |=========================| 4.4 kB 00:00 squid-7-2.5.STABLE7-1.FC2 100% |=========================| 31 kB 00:00 dump-0-0.4b39-1.FC2.i386. 100% |=========================| 5.4 kB 00:00 kernel-0-2.6.10-1.12_FC2. 100% |=========================| 202 kB 00:00 kernel-smp-0-2.6.10-1.12_ 100% |=========================| 202 kB 00:00 kernel-doc-0-2.6.10-1.12_ 100% |=========================| 35 kB 00:00 kernel-sourcecode-0-2.6.1 100% |=========================| 495 kB 00:00 kernel-smp-0-2.6.10-1.12_ 100% |=========================| 203 kB 00:00 kernel-0-2.6.10-1.12_FC2. 100% |=========================| 203 kB 00:00 Resolving dependencies ....Unable to satisfy dependencies Package php-ldap needs php = 4.3.8-2.1, this is not available. Package php-mbstring needs php = 4.3.8-2.1, this is not available. How do I fix this? What happened the first time was that yum update froze during its operation. It stopped at the point: xpdf 100 % done 121/261 There was no initial conflicts when it started and /var/logs/yum.log only has entries from my last successful yum update in november. If there is more info needed to answer my question then please post it. Thx /Igor
