While updating to the current rawhide I'm getting lots of errors (scriptlets failing) running: sudo yum update. I run this every morning, so the system was 'synced' with rawhide yesterday. Interesting to note that it claims to have installed (or updated packages) even though earlier output said that it wasn't going to try. For example, the kernel package. During install: error: %pre(kernel-2.6.10-1.1149_FC4.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 255 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping kernel-2.6.10-1.1149_FC4 After the install: Installed: kernel-devel.i686 0:2.6.10-1.1149_FC4 kernel.i686 0:2.6.10-1.1149_FC4 Something is not right here. ;-] Rodd Here's the output from yum: [rodd@localhost plugins]$ sudo yum update Password: Setting up Update Process Setting up Repos development 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files developmen: ################################################## 3752/3752 Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
