Did you do a straight upgrade, or has it been through FC1->FC2->FC3->FC4? > primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 1.1 MB 00:07 > extras : ################################################## 4109/4109 > Added 2334 new packages, deleted 460 old in 52.40 seconds > Could not find update match for openoffice.org > No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion > Looks like still have a problem. And *that's* 'cause it's been split into subpackages -- openoffice.org-writer, openoffice.org-impress, etc. Try this: yum list "openoffice.org*" to see what's available. Oh! Try this (as root): yum upgrade rather than the normal "yum update". This will process "Obsoletes" tags, which is how RPM knows that the old openoffice package is replaced. I'm not sure without looking how the package split-up is handled, though -- that may actually be magic in the Anaconda installer itself. While upgrade installs generally work fine, I find it worthwhile to do a fresh install every now and then. If you follow good adminstrative practices and keep the machine relatively clean, reconfiguring things to be the way you want shouldn't be too hard. (It can actually be faster than an upgrade.) -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
