Actually the problem seems more difficult, in my case at least. "yum update" is still looking for packages required by nfs-utils, even though it is not looking for nfs-utils itself. Does anyone understand this? -------------------------------------------- Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Package libgssapi.i386 0:0.9-1.FC5 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: libgssapi.so.1 for package: nfs-utils --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libgssapi.so.1 is needed by package nfs-utils -------------------------------------------- I should say that this doesn't worry me in the least - I am perfectly happy to wait until nfs-utils is sorted out. But I am puzzled as to why yum is looking for packages required by nfs-utils, but not for nfs-utils itself. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
