Hello, I'm a new user of yum, which has worked well for dozens of package installs. I need to install subversion on an x86_64 machine running fedora core 6 I issue the command yum install subversion-devel.x86_64 and end up with error message Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/man/man5/ldap.conf.5.gz from install of openldap-2.3.30-2.fc6 conflicts with file from package openldap-2.3.27-4 file /usr/share/man/man5/ldif.5.gz from install of openldap-2.3.30-2.fc6 conflicts with file from package openldap-2.3.27-4 I've reviewed several message threads: - Install smart: Smart choked on some other dependency problem. Committing transaction... Preparing... ################################################################## [ 0%] error: file /usr/bin/gaim from install of pidgin-2.0.1-1.fc6 conflicts with file from package gaim-2.0.0-0.15.beta3.fc6 - Remove the offending package: yum remove openldap.x86_64 suggests I remove 172 packages - do I then have to reinstall them all one by one??? Am I missing something about how to use yum so that these version conflicts get resolved, or is this a package bug of some kind? Thanks for any help you can offer.
