If it doesn't you should report it. Well, you tell me : the instruction said : do yum clean metadata yum -y update and I departed from that in two ways. I did "yum clean all" followed by plain "yum update" without the -y. It failed on all machines. I went back and did "yum clean metadata" as instructed. Then either plain "yum update" (on machines where I had already either removed NM or used the exclude formula), or things like "yum install krb5-auth-dialog" and "yum install NetworkManager-gnome" succeeded, whereupon "yum update" again either got something and succeeded, or else reported it had nothing to do. Is that close enoough to copy into a bug report, or was it some fault of mine? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
