News: this morning I tried "yum install gnome-panel" -- and it worked! What's more, it *just* worked -- without even mentioning any dependencies, other downloads, or anything. So apparently the repos -- or at least the ones my configuration accesses -- did indeed catch up. I am of course delighted. All the more so, since yum update has just also succeeded : Running Transaction Updating : qt4 ####################### [ 1/12] Updating : xffm ####################### [ 2/12] Updating : texmaker ####################### [ 3/12] Updating : jed ####################### [ 4/12] Updating : xfwm4 ####################### [ 5/12] Updating : xfprint ####################### [ 6/12] Cleanup : texmaker ####################### [ 7/12] Cleanup : jed ####################### [ 8/12] Cleanup : xfwm4 ####################### [ 9/12] Cleanup : qt4 ####################### [10/12] Cleanup : xffm ####################### [11/12] Cleanup : xfprint ####################### [12/12] Updated: jed.i386 0:0.99.18-4.fc5 qt4.i386 0:4.1.3-7.fc5 texmaker.i386 1:1.3-4.fc5 xffm.i386 0:4.2.3-4.fc5 xfprint.i386 0:4.2.3-3.fc5 xfwm4.i386 0:4.2.3.2-5.fc5 Complete! And so has yum clean all. So do I still need to cope with those long lines? Or am I safe? Safe enough to close my apps, log out and back in (and if necessary reboot), and try to get my Gnome desktop back? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Wordcrafty Squirreler, Neo- Redneck Retiree, Not Quite Clueless FC Power User -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
