You may not recall, but you helped me to get Money Dance installed on this thing a little while ago. This time its parted and we've got more than a little trouble it would seem. Anyway, you sensed that I was installing the Development Tools packages from a CD. Not so. You are correct, however, that a number of packages have been updated since the original install a couple of months ago. I always do the updates from Red Hat Network as soon as I'm notified by that little red ball on the panel. That's probably why krb5-1.2.5-7 is installed now and not krb5-1.2.5-6 but I can't be absolutely certain. I attempted to add Development Tools by checking the appropriate little box in Add and Remove Packages and clicking to update as indicated. It was then that the error aborting the update and announcing that krb5-1.2.5-6 was needed appeared. From one perspective, Red Hat clearly knows that a package is needed but not that it has been updated, either that or it simply doesn't care. From another, it cares very much that an update has occured. A real Catch 22, eh? I'd inquire, then, if you'd now modify your suggested solution above, knowing that I had not attempted to install the package from the installation CD after all. If so, what do we do from here?
