All, I think I found a bug in yum 2.0.6 but perhaps you can confirm it. Notice the result betwen two commands with different order: In the first command I used "--download-only" before "install" and it didn't install ncftp as expected. In the second command I used "--download-only" after "install" and it DID installed ncftp. 1) First Command # yum --download-only install ncftp Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Red Hat Linux 9 - i386 - Base Server: Red Hat Linux 9 - i386 - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies Dependencies resolved I will do the following: [install: ncftp 2:3.1.5-4.i386] Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages Running test transaction: Test transaction complete, Success!
