You are dealing with the fact that anaconda can't handle non-Core packages and that it can break any installed non-Core package (including packages that were previously in Core but now are not). > oh and anaconda has no way of dealing with closed source binaries really > anyway - on any version of anaconda, ever. Red herring - anaconda has no way of dealing with any kind of source and it doesn't know (or care) about the difference in the license or where the package came from (other than "current Core"). Throwing the "closed source" arguement is just trying to ignore the problem or blame it on someone else. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
