OK, figuring something had to be missing I rpm -e k3b as there was no k3b-devl installed and yum kept bitchin about it.. --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Package k3b.i386 0:0.12.17-1 set to be updated ---> Package k3b-extras.i386 0:0.12.17-1.fc6 set to be updated ---> Package k3b-devel.i386 0:0.12.17-0.1.fc6 set to be updated ---> Package k3b-i18n.noarch 0:0.12.16-1 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: k3b = 0.12.17-0.1.fc6 for package: k3b-devel --> Finished Dependency Resolution /usr/lib/yum-plugins/kmdl.py:42: DeprecationWarning: getHdrList() will go away in a future version of Yum. for hdr in conduit.getRpmDB().getHdrList(): Error: Missing Dependency: k3b = 0.12.17-0.1.fc6 is needed by package k3b-devel Ur.. ahhh... is it because there is a zero missing on the package schema? k3b.i386 has 0:0.12 which may be a typo??? k3b devel wants 0.12 so I'm boggled. Anyone have a clue?? Should I just GRAB the darn k3b-devel package manually and put the --force to it?? Goldang computers anyway. <Sigh> Ric
