Well everything seems to be working now after a kernel update. Last time I ran yum update was Friday morning (May 23rd); the only available update then was for was bash. But I just ran yum update again, and this time it updated 'kernel' and 'kernel-smp', both to 2.6.9-67.0.15.EL. And after those updates, 'yum install xorg-x11' and 'yum install xorg-x11-tools', the commands that were giving the dependency errors before, worked fine, when just hours ago they didn't work. Very confusing - I can only assume the new kernel update that just became available fixed the issue, though I can't be sure about that. "because something else installed needs xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.2" - well no, I already had a higher version of xorg-x11-libs. The problem seems to have been a strange inexplicable bug. Thanks to everyone for their help. The issue remaining now is why I can't update 'bash' - as noted in an earlier message, if I choose to update bash in 'yum update', it gives an error: Updating : bash ######################### [1/2] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /bin/bash: cpio: rename Does anyone know what's causing this error? _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
