Using yum-2.0.5-1, "yum update" on my FC1 test box gives me this result: Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers ... Resolving dependencies .conflict between ghostscript and foomatic yum.log says: ... 02/13/04 16:53:51 Updated: ghostscript 7.07-15.1.i386 ... 02/13/04 16:53:51 Updated: foomatic 3.0.0-21.3.i386 ... 02/13/04 was the most recent yum update session. rpm -qa | grep ghostscript shows: ghostscript-7.07-11 rpm -qa | grep foomatic shows: foomatic-3.0.0-9 foomatic-3.0.0-21.3 I think I can fix this in a few minutes. But, I do wonder how it got this way. There was at least one yum session that didn't finish because of a connectivity problem, but otherwise this box has behaved just like the ones without this problem. And for the record, according to /root/.bash_history I have never used rpm --force on this box. TIA, Cliff Kent
