There should be an "Updates" tab for software that is currently installed but for which a newer version is available. "Available Software" (which I suspect you're looking at) is the software which is available and which you *don't* have installed. You don't need rc- openssl or -devel packages to run the software (though they're useful if you're trying to compile it). > I notice that if I go to the Ximian Evolution channel there's a whole > bunch of 6.1 packages, but none of those say "evolution" either... The "6.1" bit is part of a revision. It's used to distinguish different builds of the same version. If the current stable non-snapshot version of Evolution is installed, "evolution" will only appear in the "Installed Software" tab. > > 2) Along a parallel track, it might be useful to know what conflicts > > it's reporting.

For anything that isn't a kernel, you almost certainly want rpm -U. This is most especially true for software that you already have installed in some version. Second mistake: you'll probably need assorted gal and gtkhtml updates as well. Trying to install packages one at a time often doesn't work well, especially when the software in question has or satisfies dependencies. Red Carpet is the easiest way around such things, once you get past the UI. -Mark Gordon _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
