I am responding to the information after visiting fedora-config-list archives and conducting quite a few searches for messages dealing with pup. I asked for searches on all sections, on keywords, on title, and on body. I asked for searches of the entire archive and for searches on a couple of individual months. In every case the result was the same - 0 hits. I searched on pup + yum and again 0 hits on pup with a few hits on yum.

System-config-packages doesn't work reliably after you have install any updates. Use your favorite depsolver (apt, yum up2date) instead.
The fact that William stated above has been noted several times on the list.
Question: Why has it remained true? Is an update to correct the problem underway?
fc4 will replace this with a new utility called pup which was also act as a frontend to yum. read fedora-config-list archives for details
I googled "pup front-end for yum" and got lots of hits, including some news reader services like gmane (I did not look on gmane itself) where I was able to retrieve and read some fedora-config-list messages posted in January 2005. Then I returned to redhat fedora-config-list archive page, selected January 2005 display by thread and searched for the specific subject thread I had just read. You guessed it!! Zero hits even though it was the seventh message presented as I scrolled down the page.
I will repeat this information under a new thread in an attempt to save a lot of people from frustration and wasting time. The Red Hat archive search engine is broken, broken, broken.
