I guess it's just rawhide. I sympathise - especially as I just spent nearly two painful hours resolving this problem after mistakenly trying to update to the new 'rpm' RPM with '--nodeps' - this was a typo - NO ONE DO THAT! I had to built the previous rpm version and install manually (without rpm) to get rpm working again. Now that it is, I've finally managed to get 'yum upgrade'-d , so if you are intent on upgrading now, here it how I did it (I had all the RPMs mounted under $RPMS - replace with directory where you downloaded them - also I run these commands while in KDE, not GNOME ) : rpm -e --nodeps balsa perl-RPM2 php-snmp gnome-panel rpm -qa | grep '^jakarta-' | while read r; do rpm -e --nodeps $r; done rpm -Uvh --nodeps $RPMS/{evolution,gtk2,gtkhtml,glib2}*.rpm rpm -ivh --nodeps $RPMS/gnome-panel-2.9.90-4.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh --nodeps $RPMS/{libgda*,nautilus-*,jakarta*} yum upgrade (works OK !) then install balsa and rpm-PERL2 if you want them . Or maybe just wait a while until we get this mess sorted out! Thanks for your patience, Jason Vas Dias.
