The rawhide list would be one place... :-) However, this sounds like a mismatch more than a bug. If you play with the rawhide stuff you need to be prepared for this sort of thing. What you do is upgrade the packages that give you the warnings to the rawhide versions or get them from the new phoebe beta. Generally speaking....if you are not willing to deal with these quirks or can't accept a dead system (can happen) you shouldn't be playing with fire. :-) Regards, Ed -- http://www.shorewall.net/ for all your firewall needs -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
