*when i try and use Add/Remove Applications it keeps reporting that it can't do anything until **krb5-libs is installed. That's part of **krb5-devel right? Well, I tried to install **krb5-devel but that gives the same response... can't install because **krb5-libs is missing. This is stopping me managing my system. Any suggestions?
