Isn't the libsasl2 library in it's own package rather than part of the cyrus-sasl2 package? If that's the case, then why is Yum trying to remove libsasl2 when removing cyrus-sasl2 if the library is a dependency for other packages?

Not positive, but I think these are Gnome and/or distro specific. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Sep 1 - BOINC Oct 6 - Creating Firefox Extensions Nov 3 - Bug Labs
