I'm following Shiner's instructions but run into the following errors when I do "yum upgrade" (glibc installed properly, though a 2004 appeared where a 2003 was showing in Shiner's instructions): Resolving dependencies .Package apt needs librpm-4.1.so, this is not available. Package rpm2html needs librpm-4.1.so, this is not available. Package apt needs librpmdb-4.1.so, this is not available. Package rpm2html needs librpmdb-4.1.so, this is not available. Package apt needs librpmio-4.1.so, this is not available. Package rpm2html needs librpmio-4.1.so, this is not available. Package Xtest needs XFree86 >= 4.2.0, this is not available. Package pine needs libcom_err.so.3, this is not available. Package imap needs libcom_err.so.3, this is not available. Package apt needs libelf.so.0, this is not available. Hmm? Is this a mistake on my end or something to do with YDL updating to 4.0.1? Should I do a full clean install off the CDs instead and rebuild my system after the fact?
