Greetings; I enabled the development repo long enough to pull in the new yum, which is reported to have a 're-install' option. That also pulled in the following list of deps: Packages Installed: pygpgme.i386 0.1-8.fc9 Packages Updated: yum-updatesd.noarch 1:0.9-1.fc9 yumex.noarch 2.0.4-1.fc9 glib2.i386 2.16.3-3.fc9 yum.noarch 3.2.14-10.fc9 glib2-devel.i386 2.16.3-3.fc9 yum-metadata-parser.i386 1.1.2-8.fc9 glibc.i686 2.8-1 glibc-headers.i386 2.8-1 glibc-devel.i386 2.8-1 yum-utils.noarch 1.1.13-2.fc9 glibc-common.i386 2.8-1 2 problems, 1) my build system is hosed, everything fails at the 'make clean' stage with an assertion error 134, and 2) yum can't find a file its requested to re-install (& yumex hasn't been informed of the new option which would be the ideal situation) Since I don't seem to have a path to back this up to pure, uptodate f8, is it safe right now to just let yum update the whole system to rawhide? That's 1300+ packages, including kde-4.03, which I understand from copying the mail here, will hose kmail, and I have little use for t-bird until it grows some ease of configuration like kmail has had for 5+ years. Or should I cancel that, and see about getting the beta image here first? Yumex is waiting. :) Or should I cherry pick and see if newer gcc pieces might help? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
