fedora-l] Re: RPM upgrade discussion

[Chris Spencer]

Have you filed a bug report on it?  

I don't seem to have these types of problems...but I don't mix
up2date/yum and synaptic/apt.

Do you have extra repositories that you are using?  freshrpms +
planetccrma + fedora core etc sometimes cause issues.
