That, and the next time you use yum after using rpm, yum will scream at you about modifying the database outside of yum :-). I find it very useful to use the yum localinstall technique for things like acroread on a 64 bit system, since if I allow it to use the adobe repo, it will decide to satisfy dependencies by doing things like pulling down the spanish version of acroread to get some library packaged with it. If I disable the adobe repo while installing the manually downloaded acroread rpm, the dependencies get satisfied by the fedora repos, and I automagically get all the 32 bit support libs I need. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
