I think you should file a bugzilla against yum (or rpm?) about this, as it certainly seems a seductive thing to try. Either yum (or rpm?) should handle it correctly or they should at least refuse to try. I see you have additional data about the problem. It might turn out to be just a special case of something more general that yum (rpm?) should be verifying. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
