Well, maybe with 120 updated packages which it is installing now, (this is
since the rawhide upgrade) the x problem _might_ be fixed. We'll see.
I'm beginning to feel like Ric, somebody just shoot me & be done with it.
Thanks David.
Update, yum dumped out, complaining that kdegraphics-lib was needed by
kdegraphics-extras-7.3.5.10.fc8.i386, and when I tell it to install it anyway,
returns the same error. removed it, took nearly 2 minutes! I suspect the cpu
is running at powersave speed, I haven't heard the fan in ages.
But now the rest of the update is errored out, first bitch is about curl, but
it looks like index.bz2 is contaminated. If I remove it, it takes about 40
pieces of kde with it. Yum clean all, wash rinse repeat, can somebody bring
me a beer?
Now its going to grab about 100 drpms. First time I've actually seen that
work. Hope it does.
But I'm still puzzled, confused and wandering around in a fog. Surely rawhide
didn't get 120 new packages in the last 2 hours???? Explanations welcomed.
And I still need that beer. :)
And that didn't work. How can I force yum to overwrite
/usr/share/man/man1/curl.1.gz from the fc8 install with the f11_x64 version?
Its also bitching about all the x86_64 stuff conflicting with the i586 stuff
from kde-4.2.3. Is there a force option for yum now? Not according to the
man page, crap... Burning F10 dvd if I can get my drive to recognize it has a
dvd-r blank disk in it. Yup, recognized the 2nd disk, so its off to the
races.
Why the hell did I even think about pulling that lappy out and putting it to
use? ATM, I can't think of a reason that justifies all this hell.
