I've gotten away with that trick two or three times before; but all those times, installing the temporarily removed things back succeeded. :-\ > Try this: > # rpm -Uvh --oldpackage > http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/evolution-data-server-1.6.1-1.fc5.2.i386.rpm > # yum install gnome-panel > If that works, you'll then be in the same boat as the rest of us... Took me a minute to copy that correctly; bash kept reading Pan's line ends as <enter>. I hope this is the way you meant. [root@localhost btth]# rpm -Uvh --oldpackage http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/evolution-data-server-1.6.1-1.fc5.2.i386.rpm Retrieving http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/evolution-data-server-1.6.1-1.fc5.2.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: evolution-data-server = 1.6.2-1.fc5.1 is needed by (installed) evolution-data-server-devel-1.6.2-1.fc5.1.i386 What the blinkety-blink-blink : "is needed by (installed)"???

Oh good. Exactly what I'd've wanted. Didn't realize nomenclature could work that way.
