Finally made time to try your suggestions.
All went OK until I got to the reload stage when it complained about a bunch of 32-bit dependencies. I changed the rpm -Uhv command to restrict it to 64-bit rpm's but still get:
warning: python-2.7.3-7.2.fc17.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 1aca3465: NOKEY error: Failed dependencies: python = 2.7.3-6.fc17 is needed by (installed) tkinter-2.7.3-6.fc17.x86_64
What can I do about this?
Cheers and thanks, Stephen
