Hello Yum Folks, Yum noob here on Fedora Core 4. Any help would be much appreciated. Summary -- Yum bailing due to missing dependencies required by excluded packages! I did the following: 1) Did >sudo yum update 2) Saw lots of openoffice language packs I didn't want, answered 'N' to the OK? question. 3) Added exlude=openoffice.org-langpack* to my yum.conf 4) Did >sudo yum update Tried exclude on the command line too. Sample output is below. $ sudo yum update --exclude=openoffice.org-langpack* Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories updates-released 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
