Thanks Peter, trying to install Yelp this morning via urpmi and I see:

The following package cannot be installed because it depends on packages
that are older than the installed ones:
yelp-2.26.0-2.1mdv2009.1

I'm not sure where to go from here. What is the easiest way to convert a
manpage to a postscript file so that I can use ps2pdf? I 'used' to use
IIRC for instance "man tmpwatch > tmpwatch.ps then run ps2pdf but that
no longer seems to work correctly.

Chris
