Hello, Please cc me on any message as I am not a member of the yum list. I wanted to use yum to selectively upgrade some packages to their FC2 test version. I am using this as my yum server: [test-fc2] name=Fedora Core 1.90 testing baseurl=http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/test/1.90/i386/os "yum list" is successful, but when I run "yum -d3 upgrade rpm" I get the following output: Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 1.90 testing Getting header.info from server failover: baseURL = http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/core/test/1.90/i386/os failover: path = /headers/header.info Finding updated packages Best version for kernel is 0:2.6.1-1.65 Best version for kernel is 0:2.4.22-1.2140.nptl Best version for openssl is 0:0.9.7a-26 Best version for openssl is 0:0.9.7a-23 Best version for glibc is 0:2.3.3-7 Best version for glibc is 0:2.3.2-101.4 Downloading needed headers Best version for kernel is 0:2.6.1-1.65 Best version for kernel is 0:2.4.22-1.2140.nptl Best version for openssl is 0:0.9.7a-26 Best version for openssl is 0:0.9.7a-23 Best version for glibc is 0:2.3.3-7 Best version for glibc is 0:2.3.2-101.4 nulist = 1264 uplist = 392 newlist = 872 obsoleting = 0 obsoleted = 0 Resolving dependencies # of Deps = 18 Best version for libselinux is 0:1.4-9 bestarch = i386 for libselinux Best version for popt is 0:1.9-0.9.1 bestarch = i386 for popt Best version for rpm-python is 0:4.3-0.9.1 Best version for rpm-build is 0:4.3-0.9.1 Best version for rpm-devel is 0:4.3-0.9.1 Best version for net-snmp is 0:5.1-8 Best version for rpm-build is 0:4.3-0.9.1 Best version for rpm-python is 0:4.3-0.9.1 Best version for rpm-build is 0:4.3-0.9.1 Best version for rpm-devel is 0:4.3-0.9.1 Best version for net-snmp is 0:5.1-8 Best version for rpm-python is 0:4.3-0.9.1 Best version for rpm-build is 0:4.3-0.9.1 Best version for rpm-devel is 0:4.3-0.9.1 Best version for net-snmp is 0:5.1-8 Best version for rpm is 0:4.3-0.9.1 Best version for rpm-python is 0:4.3-0.9.1 Best version for rpm is 0:4.3-0.9.1 Best version for rpm-build is 0:4.3-0.9.1 Best version for rpm is 0:4.3-0.9.1 Best version for rpm-devel is 0:4.3-0.9.1 .# of Deps = 1 Best version for python is 0:2.3.3-1 bestarch = i386 for python .# of Deps = 20 Best version for db4 is 0:4.2.52-2 bestarch = i386 for db4 Best version for rhpl is 0:0.124.1-1 Best version for comps-extras is 0:9.2-1 Best version for authconfig-gtk is 0:4.6-1 Best version for firstboot is 0:1.3.3-3 .Package redhat-config-mouse needs /usr/bin/python2.2, this is not available.

Of course, [root@misterk dbchrist]# which python2.2 ==> /usr/bin/python2.2 So python is available. Any ideas? Is this an appropriate way to use yum? David Christian
