All, First, thanks very much to all involved with creating yum. I've had little trouble setting up private repositories for the Red Hat versions and some extras that we use here. Altogether a much better tool than I'm ever likely to need. It was going so well that I'm puzzled by my first problem: I wanted to take a look at abiword-2.0.0-2.i386.rpm, which is in rawhide. I created a special yum.conf that added rawhide at mirror.dulug.duke.edu to my regular "base, updates, custom" that were already working. As root, I ran: yum -c /root/yum/yum.conf.rawhide update abiword This looked like it's working and got lots of headers from: http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/rawhide/i386/ I was just starting to get confident, when yum failed dependencies with: package gedit needs libaspell.so.10 (not provided) package gedit needs libpspell_aspell.so.2 (not provided) package gedit needs libpspell.so.4 (not provided) That's puzzling, those three are supplied by: aspell-0.33.7.1-21.i386.rpm pspell-0.12.2-16.i386.rpm Both RPMs are already installed. With rpm, I'd ponder trashing the box. If the box was easy to recreate, I'd "--force" it on the next pass. But, I see yum as a cleaner solution. Is there an elegant solution to this? Or have I missed something? Cliff Kent Kent Engineering & Design
