I installed all of those packages and looked through their obsoletes. The only package in that list that obsoletes anything is kudzu. However, the only xml-commons[-api] I could find were 6jpp-7fc, not 6jpp_7 so something might have changed there. If you could, reinstall your jre and update to the latest xml-commons\*, please. -sv
