I've been unable to "yum update" my Fedora-7 laptop for a couple of days, because I apparently need a recent "kdebase3", which I cannot locate. ---------------------------------------- [tim@elizabeth ~]$ sudo yum --exclude=kdeartwork,kdebase-devel,kdebindings,kdeaddons update ... --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: kdebase3 >= 3.5.8 is needed by package kdebindings Error: Missing Dependency: kdebase3 >= 3.5.8 is needed by package kdeaddons Error: Missing Dependency: kdebase-libs = 6:3.5.8-3.fc7 is needed by package kdebase-devel Error: Missing Dependency: kdebase3 >= 3.5.8 is needed by package kdeartwork [tim@elizabeth ~]$ sudo yum --exclude=kdeartwork,kdebase-devel,kdebindings,kdeaddons update ---------------------------------------- What happened was that my laptop ran out of battery in the middle of a yum update, and I assume that that was the cause of the trouble. I'm slightly puzzled that my exclude= did not have the required effect? But my main query is how to deal with the requirement for kdebase3. I do not seem to have any file of that name, and do not see where it would come from. Any and all suggestions and advice gratefully received. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
