Perhaps it can be used at both locations. I personally prefer a command-line version. However I'd like to see this info '--obsoletes=[0|1] update' mentioned in the yum-man-page where it says 'upgrade is depreciated'. Perhaps something like: *deprecated* - this command may be removed in the future - the functionality is likely to be provided by 'yum --obsoletes=1 update' thanks, Satish
