I just completed a one-by-one update of all the packages listed for update; i.e. updated packages individually. The only ones that failed were: parted.386, and pyparted.i386 I assume this is the partition editor? I tried deleting and re-installing the parted package... removal worked OK, but installation failed. So I guess I now have no partition editor? Thanks, Jay
