If you're using rawhide, this will happen all the time. However, this is getting close to a release, so I suppose it should be fixed very soon. I can confirm bug. ================ I would suggest not installing every package there is, because that's just more things that can possibly break - if you don't need the GFS packages, you probably shouldn't install them (or, in your case, you should remove them). -- Ivan Gyurdiev <ivg2@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cornell University
