not sure if this is specifically a yum question, or a fedora core question, but as i was doing a "yum list updates" in prep for updating my FC2-test1 system, i was watching the headers output going by and noticed a slight (but consistent) difference in package names: in repo: samba-3.0.2... in output: samba-0-3.0.2... what's with that extra "-0" in the output from "yum list updates"? and that happens fairly frequently. i'm sure it's insignificant, i'm just puzzled as to what it represents. (for other packages, it might be "1" instead.) rday
