This is not a rpm/yum/etc's fault. It's your fault... Also, "yum update" *quietly upgraded* is nonsense. Either you run yum update -y, or you choose yes after yum offered packages. So it's your and your fault only... Please don't spread FUD because rpm/yum work really good. -- | Jakov Sosic | ICQ: 28410271 | PGP: 0x965CAE2D | ================================================================= | start fighting cancer -> http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ | -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
