And you've got an old version of python-devel. > [root@localhost Downloads]# rpm -e python-devel-2.4.3-18.fc6 > error: Failed dependencies: > python-devel is needed by (installed) sip-devel-4.4.5-3.i386 > python-devel is needed by (installed) pycairo-devel-1.2.0-1.1.i386 These just want *one* version of python-devel to be installed. I'd imagine that you've had yum crash on you while you've been updating python. The packaging system *shouldn't* allow both packages to be installed at the same time, but it will be inconsistent while doing updates. In this case, the easiest thing would simply be to uninstall the -devel packages and re-install later. Or you could manually download python-devel-2.4.4-1.fc6, rpm -e --nodeps python-devel-2.4.3-18.fc6.i386 rpm -e python-2.4.3-18.fc6 rpm -i python-devel-2.4.4-1.fc6.i386.rpm The newer python-devel package should satisfy the dependencies you broke with nodeps. You shouldn't normally be allowed to have both versions of python-devel installed at the same time, and yum won't (normally) let you, so you do have to use both rpm and --nodeps Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail: james@ | Please do not put sandwiches in the disk drive. aprilcottage.co.uk | -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Thank you very much.
