Perhaps in the case of gda-postgres the problem was with a pending update of the postgresql-libs package providing libpq.so.4 and no longer providing the libpq.so.3 library that your installed version of gda-postgres required. In a case like that.. excluding gda-postgres doesn't do anything useful because its not gda-postgres that is trying to be updated. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
