"rpm -qi sdcc" doesn't seem to refer to a particular person. it lists packager simply as "fedora project." 2) is there a way to find out what package it was conflicting with, and how? i imagine once i learn who the packager is, that part will be easy to figure out. > And such a directory is a standard part of the Fedora sdcc package: > rpm -ql sdcc > <snip> > /usr/libexec/sdcc/as-gbz80 > /usr/libexec/sdcc/as-hc08 > /usr/libexec/sdcc/as-z80 > /usr/libexec/sdcc/aslink > /usr/libexec/sdcc/asx8051 > /usr/libexec/sdcc/link-gbz80 > /usr/libexec/sdcc/link-hc08 > /usr/libexec/sdcc/link-z80 > /usr/libexec/sdcc/makebin > /usr/libexec/sdcc/packihx > /usr/libexec/sdcc/s51 > /usr/libexec/sdcc/savr > /usr/libexec/sdcc/sdcc > /usr/libexec/sdcc/sdcclib > /usr/libexec/sdcc/sdcdb > /usr/libexec/sdcc/sdcpp > /usr/libexec/sdcc/shc08 > /usr/libexec/sdcc/sz80 > /usr/share/doc/sdcc-2.6.0 > /usr/share/doc/sdcc-2.6.0/INSTALL.txt > /usr/share/doc/sdcc-2.6.0/README.fedora > <snip> ah, i hadn't even noticed that. yes, that should solve the problem, thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
