The dates show the nfs-utils-1.0.8-2 is newer than the the rc2 package, but it still will not update with yum. I would class this a distribution bug, and until this is fixed the only way I have been able to do an update is to exclude both nfs-utils\* and libgssapi. After looking at this and what was happening I fixed it by doing a bit of work with rpm. 1. downloaded the latest nfs-utils, nfs-utils-lib and libgssapi packages. 2. did an rpm -F with all the 3 packages above in a single transaction. (The -F should have had rpm erase the old package, but see step 3) 3. did a yum search with the following results: [root@raptor ~]# yum search nfs-utils libgssapi | grep installed libgssapi.x86_64 0.9-1.FC5 installed libgssapi.x86_64 0.7-2.1 installed nfs-utils.x86_64 1:1.0.8-2.fc5 installed nfs-utils-lib.x86_64 1.0.8-3.1 installed nfs-utils-lib.x86_64 1.0.8-4.FC5 installed This shows that nfs-utils-lib and libgssapi both have multiple versions installed. 4. I now had to identify which package names to use for cleanup, so I did this: [root@raptor ~]# rpm -qa nfs-utils-lib nfs-utils-lib-1.0.8-3.1 nfs-utils-lib-1.0.8-4.FC5 [root@raptor ~]# rpm -qa libgssapi libgssapi-0.9-1.FC5 libgssapi-0.7-2.1 5. I then removed the old packages. [root@raptor ~]# rpm -e nfs-utils-lib-1.0.8-3.1 [root@raptor ~]# rpm -e libgssapi-0.7-2.1 6. To test that the yum problem was now fixed I did another yum update and it came back with the message that there was nothing to do. Success in the update, and a workaround that can be used, but this is a packaging bug that needs to be fixed so the yum updates work properly. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
