I think I found a different explanation. I must have missed it on the desktop computer, but this morning, when updating the laptop, I noticed that yum counselled me to run: yum makecache fast After I ran it, yum installed the packages that apper was constantly saying needed updating, even though yum never found them. Now, it did and all of the programs are in sync. _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
