to be far more specific regarding my previous post, if i have no current "xine" rpm installed, what should happen if i type # yum update xine as it stands now, nothing gets updated (good), but yum takes several seconds to download/update header information. why? one would think that yum should immediately realize that i can't update xine since it's not on my system. that response should be immediate, and shouldn't require downloading or updating any header info, no? # yum update xine You don't have xine installed, you can't update it. # or is there something more subtle about this that i'm missing? rday
