hi everybody,
I have 2 questions about yum
1/ strange results
I have the lyx package installed, version lyx-1.4.1-2.fc4
"yum update lyx" gives:
Package lyx.i386 0:1.4.1-7.fc4 set to be updated
but "yum --enablerepo=* list available" only shows
lyx.i386 0:1.4.1-7.fc6
the fc4 package is not listed !
can anybody explain that?
2/ wrong dependency:
as with rpm, "yum update lyx" gives:
Missing Dependency: tetex-dvipost is needed by package lyx
In fact I have an other tex distrib installed instead of
tetex, and lyx works perfectly with it.
With rpm, you can say "--nodeps", and I don't find the equivalent
in yum. I think that this option is badly missing.
Does anybody knows a workaround ?
(I mean using yum, not just downloading the rpm file
and running "rpm")
