Hi Jim. I'm using Apt on FC5. I'm on dialup, and there are still some 2h 30m to go on the updates download, but apt-get dist-upgrade indicates that it's going to remove nfs-utils (1.0.8.rc2-5.FC5). The packages to be installed/removed etc are below. The following packages will be upgraded NetworkManager (0.6.2-2.fc5 => 0.6.3-1.fc5) NetworkManager-glib (0.6.2-2.fc5 => 0.6.3-1.fc5) NetworkManager-gnome (0.6.2-2.fc5 => 0.6.3-1.fc5) autofs (4.1.4-27 => 4.1.4-29) glx-utils (6.4.2-6 => 6.4.2-6.FC5.3) gnupg (1.4.3-2 => 1.4.4-2) httpd (2.2.0-5.1.2 => 2.2.2-1.0) k3b (0.12.14-0.FC5.2 => 0.12.15-0.FC5.1) lash (0.5.1-2.rhfc5.ccrma => 0.5.1-5.fc5) libX11 (1.0.0-3 => 1.0.0-3.FC5.0) libX11-devel (1.0.0-3 => 1.0.0-3.FC5.0) libgssapi (0.7-2.1 => 0.9-1.FC5) mesa-libGL (6.4.2-6 => 6.4.2-6.FC5.3) mesa-libGL-devel (6.4.2-6 => 6.4.2-6.FC5.3) mesa-libGLU (6.4.2-6 => 6.4.2-6.FC5.3) mesa-libGLU-devel (6.4.2-6 => 6.4.2-6.FC5.3) mesa-libGLw (6.4.2-6 => 6.4.2-6.FC5.3) mesa-libGLw-devel (6.4.2-6 => 6.4.2-6.FC5.3) mkbootdisk (1.5.2-5.2 => 1.5.2-7) mutt (1.4.2.1-6.2.1 => 1.4.2.1-6.3.fc5) nfs-utils-lib (1.0.8-3.1 => 1.0.8-4.FC5) python (2.4.3-4.FC5 => 2.4.3-8.FC5) python-devel (2.4.3-4.FC5 => 2.4.3-8.FC5) qt4 (4.1.4-1.fc5 => 4.1.4-4.fc5) qt4-devel (4.1.4-1.fc5 => 4.1.4-4.fc5) shared-mime-info (0.17-1.fc5.1 => 0.17-1.fc5.2) tetex (3.0-19.fc5 => 3.0-20.FC5) tetex-fonts (3.0-19.fc5 => 3.0-20.FC5) xorg-x11-apps (1.0.1-2 => 7.0-1) xorg-x11-server-Xorg (1.0.1-9.fc5.1.1 => 1.0.1-9.fc5.5) xorg-x11-server-debuginfo (1.0.1-9.fc5.1.1 => 1.0.1-9.fc5.5) xorg-x11-xdm (1.0.1-1.2 => 1.0.1-2) xorg-x11-xfs (1.0.1-4 => 1.0.1-4.FC5.0) xorg-x11-xinit (1.0.1-2 => 1.0.1-2.FC5.0) xorg-x11-xtrans-devel (1.0.0-3.2 => 1.0.0-3.2.FC5.0) The following packages will be REPLACED: qt4-config (1.0.8.rc2-5.FC5) (by (4.1.4-1.fc5) qt4) () The following packages will be REMOVED: nfs-utils (1.0.8.rc2-5.FC5) The following NEW packages will be installed: qt4-x11 (4.1.4-4.fc5) 35 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 replaced, 1 removed and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 125MB of archives. After unpacking 103kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n (which is now yes) Whether Apt has worked around this problem, I don't know yet. I'll update when the download finishes. Nigel.
