Sorry, about some of those "tests" at the bottom, getting a bit late at night. Here's something more meaningful: [morgan@morgansmachine ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides libgtop-2.0.so.2 libgtop2-2.5.2-2 [morgan@morgansmachine ~]$ rpm -q libgtop2-2.5.2-2 libgtop2-2.5.2-2 [morgan@morgansmachine ~]$ But, Error: Missing Dependency: libgtop-2.0.so.2 is needed by package synce-trayicon Any ideas? Best regards, Morgan.
