Nigel, have I got egg on my face! When I posted my reply the update was progressing smoothly. Unfortunately I got distracted and did not notice that the status window was still open but had become hidden behind another application. Synaptic is broken on F9. My apologies for the screw-up. By the way, apt and synaptic were not installed on my installation of F10 because few fedora 3-rd party repositories seem to be supporting apt . I just installed both applications, fired up synaptic, and synaptic crashed whle performing the gpg check. --Kam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
