If both operations are repeatable, I guess you'll have to start adding print statements to find out WTF is going on. I'd try excluding all the other versions of glibc, to cut down on the noise and then find out what is happening when the depsolver looks for /sbin/ldconfig (and just before that, when it should check that it exists in the upgrade). -- James Antill -- james@xxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
