Using the yum command isn't gaining you anything. Anne Wilson: > Fair enough. I'm always a bit reluctant to mix methods That really isn't a case of mixing methods. When you use YUM, it uses the RPM database to help with determining dependencies, at *that* time. Next time you use YUM, it works on the current condition of the RPM database, which would have been updated if your installed something using RPM. YUM is just acting as an agent to play with RPM. -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
