as a single example, my attempt to upgrade produced:
--> Missing Dependency: libssl.so.8()(64bit) is needed by package
tigervnc-server-1.0.0-2.fc11.x86_64 (installed)
if i read the situation correctly, openssl would be upgraded but
there *is* no newer version of tigervnc-server in rawhide, so the
current version would remain, with its dependency on the older (and
about to be replaced) version of openssl. hence, the dependency
failure. is that an accurate description of what is happening here?
rday
p.s. in fact, there is no package named "tigervnc-server" in f12 at
all, just tigervnc.
