You're right. It turned out that I had glibc-2.3.2-27.9.7.i686.rpm in the repository but I needed the i386 package too. It took me a while to realise that although I have pkgpolicy=newest the repositories were sorted alphabetically on serverid. The man page for yum.conf gave me the impression that this only happens when pkgpolicy=last is set. Seems to be working now. I have to say how brilliant yum is. I beleive that yum is the killer app which will put linux onto the corporate desktop. Having said that, there's still one problem. It's not with yum but the fedora repository at http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/9/i386/yum/updates/. Yesterday Redhat issued an update for squid and squid-2.5.STABLE1-3.9.i386.rpm showed up in the RPMS folder. There's still no sign of the .hdr file. Does anyone know how often the re-yummify? Thanks for your help :) Rob -- Rob Watkin <robwatkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
