These issues are exactly why one should be looking at an ENTERPRISE OS for a server. Fedora, ubuntu, etc... are not enterprise OSes, and any discussion of such issues are certainly off-topic for this mailing list. An enterprise OS has all of the dependency issues ironed out already. Incidentally, I really think that all of the "apt lovers" out there jumped to Debian in the days before tools like yum existed, and have not been paying attention to the changes made since. You are correct that yum handles most of the dependency issues, and it is certainly on par with apt in any modern system. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
