Somewhat later : I did "yum remove privoxy" and it did, without taking anything else; so I did "yum remove xorg-x11-drv-synaptics" and again it took only the one item. This reminded me of that old-time dependency hell; so I took a deep breath and did "yum update" yet again. It soon reached : Transaction Summary ================================================================================================ Install 32 Packages (+444 Dependent packages) Upgrade 2113 Packages (+ 2 Dependent packages) Remove 2 Packages Total download size: 2.1 G Is this ok [y/N]: Again I assented. Almost immediately it wanted a public key for Acetone! And sat there while I typed the above, then said : Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: Setting up and reading Presto delta metadata warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID de7f38bd: NOKEY Public key for AcetoneISO2-2.3-4.fc18.i686.rpm is not installed libwps-0.2.9-1.fc17.i686.rpm | 242 kB 00:00:01 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total 20 MB/s | 2.1 GB 01:47 Public key for os-prober-1.58-1.fc18.i686.rpm is not installed [root@Hbsk2 ~]# On a hunch, I tried yum update os-prober; that looped back and choked again on its key. So I'm trying yum update --exclude=os-prober. Lish me wuck, wots of wuck; and I help all this helps somebody somehow. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- 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?
