I'm aware of the dangers of a forced update, so that's not a problem. This is also an experimental hamster machine and a full reinstall is also no big deal should it be necessary. However, it is strange that yum would whine that a library that is already installed isn't available, and that kdebase and kdegraphics have this weird dependency when it is caused by OpenEXR-libs. But then again, yum has some peculiarities. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - If one is what one eats, then I am fast, cheap and greasy! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
