How would you define exactly "problematic RPMs"? When you encounter dependency problems the problem can often be with packages whose dependecies seem satisfied. If there is a dependecy problem I would tend to handle it first (by enlargind/reducing the packages set) and only later handle other things. Otherwise I may install only part of the required packages for the upgrade I want. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
