It offers an upgradeable file, but, because all the mirrors haven't caught up, or because someone forgot to update a spec file, or because I forgot to take my meds this am, SMART is warning you that it will have to downgrade two other packages in order to upgrade the first - sometimes, that can be very useful. Yumex can't get that sophisticated, and just returns a failed dependencies error in the same situation. now - 'bout those meds..... -- Claude Jones Brunswick, Md, USA
