OK. Not sure if I am understanding this right... but somehow the regular "yum update" ended up updating the kmdl to a 0.8.3 version but kept the lirc and lirc-lib at 0.8.2. I then manually upgraded to all 0.8.3 (except for the kmdl which I kept as-is) but now the lirc daemon crashes every time I try to access it with a lirc-based application. - Is this what you mean by "All stable updates are mixed up"? i.e., would this explain why yum update gave me a mix of (old) 0.8.2 applications and libraries with new 0.8.3 kernel drivers? - Is there any reason 0.8.3 shouldn't work for me? Do I need to separately upload the 0.8.3 kmdl from the lirc-8.3 rather than using the 8.3 version that yum automatically upgraded for me under the 8.2 regime? Any other help appreciated... _______________________________________________ atrpms-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.atrpms.net/mailman/listinfo/atrpms-users
