So in fact on this system apt is no better than yum. You have got an old version of kdenetwork installed, and that is what is causing your problems. A vanilla installation of FC3 has kdenetwork-3.3.0-5 and an updated version has kdenetwork-3.3.1-3. You have got kdenetwork-3.1.4-1. Do you have a duplicate package installed? What's the output of: $ rpm -qa 'kde*' You might also try this to fix the problem: # rpm -e kdenetwork-3.1.4-1 Paul. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Here's what I get [root@fedorarouter ~]# rpm -qa 'kde*' kdenetwork-3.1.4-1 kdebase-3.1.4-7 kdelibs-3.1.4-7 kdegames-3.1.4-2 kdemultimedia-3.1.4-1 kdegraphics-3.1.4-1 kdeadmin-3.1.4-1 kdeutils-3.1.4-1 kdeaddons-3.1.4-2 kdeartwork-3.1.4-1 [root@fedorarouter ~]#
