Hi folks, There is a new yum 2.0.X daily up at: http://linux.duke.edu/yum/download/2.0/daily/yum-20030921.tar.gz The primary change here is an attempt to fix a couple of annoying dependency loop cases during certain types of updates. yum was not attempting to update a program out of a dependency requirement in the event it found a place it couldn't resolve. for example: if you issued yum update ethereal and you had ethereal and ethereal-gnome installed then yum would eventually bail out of the update b/c the installed ethereal-gnome was complaining b/c it needed the older ethereal, not the newer one. Now, when yum gets to a case like that it will say, so, there is no way to give ethereal-gnome the old ethereal, so let's see if there is a new ethereal-gnome that will take care of this problem. That's the gist of this patch - I'll be backporting this to 1.0.X as well, it will just take a little more work to make sure it fits right. so please test this daily and let me know if you notice any oddities in the dep resolution code - if you do notice anything weird please run yum -d 5 [whatever command] and bugzilla it. Thanks -sv
