  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are
reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after
causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync
command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a
meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the
gdk_x_error() function.)
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa coreutils
coreutils-6.10-17.fc9.i386
[root@localhost ~]#


I updated to today's rawhide report, and I get the
following error message

*** removed to save space ****

Error Summary
-------------

So I ran it with 
[root@localhost ~]# ./nodep 

and got most of the updates.  

How can I fix this issue?

Thanks,

Antonio

I can fix this one by doing an 
# rpm -e util-linux-2.13-0.54.1.fc7.i386

But the others, should I remove X and reinstall it?
