Might I suggest Smart instead? Frankly I can't see how anyone can stand to use Fedora with yum (or even apt-rpm). Smart is faster, has better dependency resolution and can often fix the cyclic dependency hell created by yum or apt-rpm (unlike those two package managers, smart can intelligently downgrade packages as well). I've fixed many a FC box that would have normally required an hour of manually replacing RPM's with a simple "smart fix". Usually you can just do "yum install smart" after a fresh Fedora install, but if yum is broken, just install the smart rpm and the smart config rpms from here: FC8: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packages/smart-0.51-49.fc8.i386.rpm http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packages/fedora-package-config-smart-8-10.i386.rpm FC7: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/i386/os/Fedora/smart-0.50-45.fc7.i386.rpm http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/i386/os/Fedora/fedora-package-config-smart-6.89-7.i386.rpm Regards, Cliff _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] https://openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/users
