If you don't know what you're doing NEVER use --nodeps to install packages using --nodeps and ask for help on the list takes balls sudo /bin/rpm -e bacula-client sudo /usr/bin/yum localinstall /path/to/bacula-client-2.2.6-1.fc7.x86_64.rpm But more importantly...the differences between 2.0.3 and 2.2.6 have nothing to do with bacula-client anyway so you just might as well install the bacula-client-2.0.3 (yes, you can use 2.0.3 client with later version server). Also, if you are using bacula-client only, you obviously have to be using bacula-mysql (or other sql) somewhere else. Bacula is a cinch to build from src rpms that they have for download at bacula.sourceforge.net and if you want to build them yourself, let me know and I'll step you through it...or ask the bacula list which is very active and very helpful. NEVER use --nodeps unless you are prepared to live with the consequences, which doesn't include asking mail list why it doesn't work. Craig
