Ralph: I remembered something about a difference, between "yum upgrade" and "yum update", from the release of CentOS 5.2. I hadn't fiddled with the configuration of /etc/yum.conf and did not read the Release Notes, before I upgraded from 5.1 to 5.2. I used "yum update" and I was OK. This was a gentle reminder to myself to read the Release Notes, which is always an outstanding idea and something I didn't do when 5.2 came out. Last night, on the list, I picked up about updating glibc first. In the CentOS 5 General Support Forum, in Akemi's thread, "When will CentOS 5.3 be out"; 59,375 views at this time. I will wait a few days, before I upgrade. Lanny <snip> _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
