Which Fedora release are you using, which versions of these packages do you have installed, and what happens when you do "yum update"?
I neglected to include that information because before writing my original email, I did a search and found that this exact problem reported to this list on June 5 of this year (see http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2006-June/msg00548.html). Sorry if I jumped to the wrong conclusions in assuming this was the same problem, still unfixed. Anyway, this was confirmed as a package bug in that thread. I just tried an update now, with the same results as in that message but with different version numbers: root@hellboy /h/axel> yum update Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories core [1/4] ftp://redhat.taygeta.com/pub/RedHat/fedora/core/5/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: [Errno ftp error] timed out Trying other mirror. core 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 updates [2/4] updates 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB 00:00 freshrpms [3/4] freshrpms 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras [4/4] extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

If this is a new bug, then I am sorry about the confusion and wish to report this as a brand new bug. I am using an (otherwise) fully patched FC5, just like the original reporter. Since at least the original bug was caused by the upload of a package that had incorrect dependencies, I resubmit that the package building process could be improved to better check that a new batch of packages only depend on themselves and packages already in fedora.
Whilst there have been problems with these packages in the past, I haven't seen any recently, and I still have boxes running all Fedora releases (though the FC2 box is a server and probably doesn't have evolution installed). Paul.
