I got everything except wine and abiword. Trying for wine alone, I got : Missing Dependency: /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth is needed by package xorg-x11 Missing Dependency: xorg-x11-xfs = 6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2 is needed by package xorg-x11 initscripts conflicts with xorg-x11 fontconfig conflicts with fonts-xorg-base Trying for abiword alone, I got : Missing Dependency: libpoppler.so.0 is needed by package abiword IOW, it's wine and abiword that are causing the trouble. Yum update wine and yum update abiword confirm. But there's a point I forgot to mention before. The machine where the problem is is one of three, all upgraded from FC4. The other two are doing fine. This one was doing fine -- it got the initial updates after the install, and a couple more. The other two both run Fedora only. This one dual boots, rarely, to XP; and that works as before, too -- I get to XP (It's XPPro/SP2), and that runs and does the things I still have to do with it -- no sweat. The other two both get the same results from yum update abiword, yum update wine, and plain yum update : nothing to do. So I tried another thing. rpm -q gets releases for both, on both machines, that end in .fc5 -- but on this one, they end in .fc4 >> The new yum.conf file should give you a basic configuration with just >> "core", "updates", and "extras" repositories enabled.
