Looks pretty obvious I'd say ... kdebase-3.5.6-0.1.fc6 now provides those files previously provided by kde-config-3.5-15.fc6 from the kde-redhat repo, thus making it redundant. yum remove kde-config What impact that will have on the other kde-redhat packages, I have no idea, but as a worse case scenario, might mean you have to wave bye bye to the whole tree. -- K. http://slated.org - Slated, Rated & Blogged .---- | "Future archaeologists will be able to identify a 'Vista Upgrade | Layer' when they go through our landfill sites" - Sian Berry, the | Green Party. `---- Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux) on sky, running kernel 2.6.19-1.2288.fc5 22:35:35 up 10:01, 3 users, load average: 0.02, 0.02, 0.00
