>> yum didn't finish the transaction? << Yum _appeared_ to finish as usual. But did not. When I got to cleaning up, rpm -e would remove the "older versions". For example: # rpm -qa | grep foomatic foomatic-3.0.0-9 foomatic-3.0.0-21.3 # rpm -e foomatic-3.0.0-9 # rpm -qa | grep foomatic foomatic-3.0.0-21.3 That makes it look like that's fixed. In the other half of the error, although yum.log said: 02/13/04 16:53:51 Updated: ghostscript 7.07-15.1.i386 # rpm -qa | grep ghostscript ghostscript-7.07-11 Indicated that the update was not done. When I looked in /var/cache/yum/updates/packages I found ghostscript-7.07-15.1.i386.rpm and installed it with: # rpm -Uvh ghostscript-7.07-15.1.i386.rpm After that, yum update would work, but I still had something like 15 other instances of the new and old versions both being returned by rpm -qa | grep xxx. I fixed those in the same way as the foomatic-3.0.0-9 example above. I hope that's clear. I'm not sure I've described it wall. Cliff Kent
