I'm not at that machine, but KDE4 being available in updates co=uld
explain how it ended up being installed. Because I did NOT enable
development on that machine. I changed nothing in the repos.d folder
except to add atrpms, and livna.
Interestingly, I don't remember ever touching the dev repo file on this
laptop, but it IS enabled...and I think I would remember changing that.
Luckily, that repo was moved to a different subfolder at some early
point (something to do with livna iirc)
In any event, I re-installed already... and promptly ran into the same
sort of stupid crap.. following the install, I tried to do the usual
update and it failed...File not available...Seems that libhunspell has
been upgraded but lots of stuff which requires the OLD version are still
around...and you can't remove the new hunspell without removing 27 or 30
packages.
Fedora-updates is NOT enabled by default on my laptop. The problem
really is fedora-development.repo which IS enabled.
