I'd still bet some other package was being modified that could only work by reverting your cups, and it gave you that choice. As to comparing to Yum, it's almost surely the case that Yum did not hit the same mirrors as Smart, and even if it did, it did so at a different point in time. I have found plenty of weirdness with yum as well, but my general view now is wait - 90% or more of issues that come up during updating will be fixed by waiting a while. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, Md, USA
