It's yum in Fedora, not apt :-)  OK - I can force.  I just didn't know whether 
I was asking for trouble if I did so.  It's something I normally avoid, but 
since the only problems reported concerned the icon packages, maybe it's 
relatively safe.  If nno-one screams at me to hold off, I'll try that in the
