This package is not installed in a version labled fc18. So I guess I could remove it, but why doesn't distro-sync do that? Now I removed it, without any dependencies showing up, so it's kinda obvious that it shouldn't be installed anymore, and distro-sync should have removed it already. ,---- | [root@yun etc]# yum list available "NetworkManager-gtk*" | [...] | Error: No matching Packages to list `---- So what's distro-sync doing? -- Fedora 17.8 -- 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?
