Thanks very much. Actually, my yum setup on this machine was so screwed up that "sudo yum install yum-utils" got the response that there was nothing to do, even though package-cleanup was not found. So I found the yum-utils rpm, and ran "rpm -Uvh yum-utils*". It wasn't really clear what argument to give package-cleanup but I said "sudo package-cleanup --cleandupes". This cleared out 100-200 fc6 packages, and now when I run "sudo yum update" over 100 packages are updated or installed. I'll study package-cleanup more carefully, and see if there are any other arguments I should give. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
