| Hi, (NOTE : I hope this does not come twice !! mailcity cunningly hid my email address!!!) I am a complete fedora newbie. Last night I installed FC5 on a PC and the first thing I did was to run the "yum -y upgrade" command (as per the Myth(tv)ology instructions I was following) to get my machine uptodate. Sadly, it went a little strange after doing the 520Mb download. Once it got to applying the downloads, I left the machine over night. Well, come this morning (eight hours later), it still had not finished and appeared to be doing nothing. The entry with the #'s appearing next to it was "coreutils" (something like 125/525). Well, I opened a new session in the same Konsole window just to log in as root and nose around (not that I knew what I was looking for). When I decide! d that was a bad idea, I accidently closed the session tab which was applying the update!!! Arrrrgh!!!! Opps!!. Now, when I try "yum -y upgrade" again, I get about six dependency error messages. The first being related to openssh (I can't recall the others, I am not at the machine now). I tried using yum to install openssh and got the following : <snip> Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories core [1/3] updates ! ; &nb sp; [2/3] extras [3/3] Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

Have I screwed things up completely? How, please, do I go about resolving the dependency issue? Any tutorial links to help resolve this problem? Thanks for helping this complete novice.
