It's not specific to ATrpms. To me it really looks like a yum bug. Especially when ocaml is verbosely set to be updated to some version and suddenly ocaml at the end is said to be not available. So my recommendation (to Michael) is: (after making sure that your system is not having a brokeeeen rpm database) try using smart and see what this will suggest to do. It should at least offer a better result than bailing out. smart at ATrpms and the atrpms-package-config and medley-package-config contain livna smart channels, but also a bit more, so if you use that you will have to deactivate some repo to really test the only livna&atrpms activated setup. Or you can install smart from extras and add livna&atrpms channels to it. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
