Why do I get the error message Error: missing dep: redhat-menus for pkg evolution when I run "yum update". I can avoid it by "yum --exclude evolution update" but I'd still like to now what one is meant to do. I find yum very useful, but I really think its error messages should be thought through. The other day my link to the network was down, but instead of a message saying something like "Cannot access repository xyz" I got a python error message about a problem in line n of python file y. The best error messages suggest possible remedial action. The next best tell you exactly what is wrong, eg in this case something like "Cannot find file redhat-menus-xyz required by package evolution", if that is indeed the error. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
