Would you like to install KF> package 'MySQL' instead? [y/N] More annoying user interaction. yum is already horrible that way. And yum -y isn't the answer, because that lets yum go crazy without considering any consequences. If yum install foo on an x86_64 installed exactly foo.x86_64 if no dependencies were needed, that would be perfect. Otherwise it should just fail and spit out a list of needed dependencies. Then the user can run it with something like yum install --withdependencies foo, and it would do the right thing without asking questions. Again, if it needed to upgrade something, it would fail and give a list of what it needed. Unix command line software does what it's told or fails. It doesn't ask for permission. /Benny (Yes I hate the rm -i thing too. mv should fail when asked to overwrite though.) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
