Axel: If you re-read the original posting - it's about the mythtv package going from doc-package to group-package.
Jeffrey: try this to get around the problem: rpm -e --nodeps --repackage mythtv yum install mythtv-doc yum upgrade libmyth mythtv-backend mythtv-frontend mythcontrols mythweb mythtv-themes mythtv-setup Regards, Kim Axel Thimm wrote: > On Mon, Jul 30, 2007 at 09:47:33PM -0400, Jeffrey J.
