I think the problem I was talking about (as OP) was different to yours, though I did have your problem earlier. On this occasion, the problem arose when I tried to latex (or pdflatex) a file, and I was told the .fmt file was not found. Yum-reinstallation did solve this problem for me. For the other problem with yum-update, I found that yum-removing texlive-preview and yum-installing tex-preview did the trick. I have also disabled the fedora-updates-testing repo, as this is no longer required to meet a problem with the R-core package. As far as I can see, there has been a big change in the texlive setup under Fedora-17, with most of the texlive-* packages re-named tex-*. But it's been working perfectly for me, as has yum-update which I run every couple of days. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin -- 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 Have a question?
