It does take a long time and produces a list of what is "set to be installed" - but because it encounters errors with some packages and their dependencies, it does not install any of them. What I have been doing is that for every dependency that causes conflicts, I uninstall the conflicting dependency and all packages that depend on it, and then I "yum install" them and that fixes the problem with that dependency. So, next time I do yum update, the problem with that specific dependency is gone and the new dependencies are installed. And on with the next conflict ...etc. So, it has been a rather slow and painful process to do things that yum should be doing for me. -- 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
