Followups set to gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general I'm not sure whether this is a Fedora question, an abiword question -- or a minor glitch not worth posting. I just finished upgrading a G3 iBook from FC4 to FC5; took forever, even from a DVD, but went OK. Then, of course, I immediately became root and did yum update. That got as far as asking me do it, y/n?, and then failed on abiword. I went into /etc/yum.conf, added a line saying exclude=abiword, and immediately did yum update again. It ran, and completed. Then I ran yum update a third time, again immediately. Now it got exactly one app : abiword.ppc 1:2.4.2-7.fc5 -- which may be compared to the abiword-2.4.4-2.fc5 that rpm -q shows on one of my FC5 PCs. I have no idea what's going on. If anything changed it the repos between the runs, it may be pure glitch. If so, my apologies for wasting bandwidth. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Wordcrafty Squirreler FC5; Pine 4.64, Pan 0.14.2.91; Privoxy 3.0.3; CXO 5.0.1 Dillo 0.8.5, Opera 8.54, Firefox 1.5, Galeon 2.0.1 Remember I have little idea what I am talking about.
