The one that's installed is popt-1.10.2-46.fc7, the one to be installed is popt-1.10.2-1.fc7, and judging from release numbers, the latter looks older. Or it's too early in the morning here :-( > > Does running yum update with the debugging[1] turned up help? It doesn't help _me_, but at least it gives a different error message: Member: popt.x86_64 0-1.10.2-46.fc7 - None Member: popt.x86_64 0-1.10.2.1-1.fc7 - u Adding Package popt - 1.10.2.1-1.fc7.x86_64 in mode u ---> Package popt.x86_64 0:1.10.2.1-1.fc7 set to be updated ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve: Package rpm-libs needs rpm = 4.4.2-46.fc7, this is not available. Package rpm-devel needs rpm = 4.4.2-46.fc7, this is not available. Complete! Actually, now I get this same error without debugging turned on. But wait! I got this last error message while doing yum update popt But now, prompted by this new error I tried yum update popt rpm* and it worked! But perhaps it was a syncing problem, as Stuart Murray-Smith said, and it wasn't the different arguments but the elapsed 10 seconds that helped. Andras
