Seth, So do I now have a catch-22 situation? Since 'apache' changed to 'httpd' the squirrelmail package gets upset. But a newer squirrelmail will need httpd which I don't yet have and cannot get! How do I break the circle? Once I do break this circle, will a 'yum upgrade' work without the issues reported by my 'yum update'? I would hope so since the 'upgrade; knows what's obsolete and should take care of itself, right? ...Jake >>>>> "sv" == seth vidal <skvidal@xxxxxxxxxxxx> writes: sv> On Wed, 2005-05-18 at 09:55 -0400, Jake Colman wrote: >> I am trying to upgrade from RH 7.3 to 8.0 (yes, I know that 9.0 is supported >> and 8.0 is not but I'd rather take baby steps).
