Nah, they just have the same problem everyone else has who tries to provie a repo that will work on a gazillion different linux distros. They can't know what libraries the distro will actually have versus the ones they need, so they just package the libs they need with the rpms. (I suspect the problem could be solved differently with a lot more work, but I'm grateful they provide a repo at all :-). I've finally learned to download exactly the rpms I want from adobe with yumdownloader, then do an install via something like yum --disablerepo=adobe-linux-i386 localinstall *.rpm That way I get just acrobat and flash from the adobe repo and the other libs I need come from fedora repos. After the initial install, it seems safe to leave the adobe repo enabled to get updates since I now have the right version of all the dependencies. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
