just an observation -- i wanted to remove the mysql-related packages from my f8t1 system and, before i did that, i decided to check for dependencies. one of the commands i ran: # rpm -q --whatrequires mysql-libs mysql-5.0.45-4.fc8 # however, i also noticed this: # rpm -qR amarok ... libmysqlclient.so.15 libmysqlclient.so.15(libmysqlclient_15) ... but "mysql-libs" *is* the package that supplies that shared library. shouldn't the rpm dependencies query be able to figure that out? rday p.s. i posted this to the regular fedora list since i just assumed the same would be true under f7. was that a bad assumption? -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
