This was added on later. I added this to the --exclude list and then there was another dependency. Add that, then another and the list seems long and I gave up after the 5th try because it was expanding into a hive of dependencies! So - in a nutshell... I cannot proceed with the simplest updates! Again, you cannot enable fpackage-fc because it does not exists. Someone wrote that its there for fc1-fc4 but you are out of luck for fc5. So - I disabled that and tried [generic] and now disabled that. So - no updates are possible for me at this time. Kind regards, Dan
