I find yum a marvelous resource, so the following should not be taken as even a mild criticism. I recently tried to download gnokii-devel, but I was told this required an older version of gnokii than I had, as shown below. I'm not sure where I got the "fc8" version I have - I don't normally open any non-standard repositories, but I might have done so in error. I tested "yum remove gnokii" but this would have removed dozens of packages. I'm just wondering: what is the standard way of dealing with this yum quandary, if indeed there is a way? -------------------------------- [tim@elizabeth ~]$ sudo yum install gnokii-devel ... Resolving Dependencies ... --> Processing Dependency: gnokii = 0.6.14-3.fc7 for package: gnokii-devel ... Error: Missing Dependency: gnokii = 0.6.14-3.fc7 is needed by package gnokii-devel [tim@elizabeth ~]$ grep gnokii /var/log/rpmpkgs gnokii-0.6.17-1.fc8.i386.rpm --------------------------------
