The reason I want to see the log is there is likely an underlying cause; to put it very broadly and squishily, your package set is probably causing yum to get confused trying to obey two imperatives, something along the lines of 'we want to update perl and all these perl dependencies, but one obstinate package doesn't have a newer version which requires the newer version of perl and is gumming up the whole works'. You might *expect* that to produce an immediately obvious single error message pointing to the one culprit package, but in my experience that isn't always the case. But it's hard to say for sure without seeing the full log. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
