But the claws-mail is exactly the same, but for the distribution number.

Though for a Yum-based upgrade you need to make sure you upgrade the "fedora-release" package first, so the $releasever variable in Yum's repository definitions becomes 9. (Some people modify the .repo files manually and forget pointing some of them to Fedora 9. Then they mix Fedora 8 and 9 and see dependency problems.) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
