You can uninstall it to remove this message > XFree86-libs required by gnomeutils Did you mean ghome-utils? If so, what version of gnome-utils do you have. I have gnome-utils-2.10.0-4 and it certainly does not require anything from XFree86. > libdpstk.so required by ImageMagick This one and the last one can be fixed by uninstalling ImageMagick, do the update, then if ImageMagick is needed do a reinstall.

After the errors are cleaned up then a judicious use of different repos to get those extra packages you want is good. I avoid these types of errors by only having the base 3 repos enabled by default and then enabling the others on a per-use and as-needed basis. > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
