Yes, except that as far as I know, the only place it's been mentioned is here. (See my suggestion, powers that be, that it would save a lot of trouble for people to put a mention by the place where people are directed to download). You *might* by now, be able to fix this by just doing, before running yum update yum upgrade rpm I don't know if it's been fixed to that point yet. If not. yum install yum-downloadonly This will work. yum --downloadonly install db4-utils This will download db4-utils and possibly some dependencies and exit after downloading. Go to /var/cache/yum/rawhide packages and install db4-utils with rpm -Uvh db4-utils This should also work. At this point, you can grab the tarball I put up--the stuff is also, as far as I know, still at koji, but in case it isn't. wget http://www.scottro.net/rpms.tar.bz2 Once it's downloaded tar jxvf rpms.tar.bz2 cd rpms rpm -Uvh *rpm After that, yum update should work. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Xander: So, we Bronzin' it tonight?
