Jurgen, With a painfully slow network connection I'm slogging through a work-around that in 2-3 more days may complete a GUI install. I simply deselected the Development groups I think contain one or both of those packages and let 'er rip. As I write this the progress bar is at 2148 of 5607 packages. After the initial installatin is comlete, I can go back and install the Development groups I skipped, isolating the one or two errant packages (if they haven't been fixed by then). --Doc -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
