I'm fairly new to using LINUX as my desktop...I'm also a natural 
blond...ok not really... I wanted an environment that was not XP to 
write some code for fun in. (C/C++) I miss it and don't like what I'm 
doing at work....so....Unix/LINUX was my choice.

I downloaded and burned the June fedora ISO's. Installed fine, and the 
desktop comes up...I can run KDevelop...command lines and compile fine.

I figured I'd click on the RHN update and see what happenes. It 
downloads a sh*load of rpm's. starts the actual installs and goes off 
into neverland....ok...so I remembered one of the kids at work telling 
about 'yum'. After much putzing around I finally discover 'yum update' 
and get the following result:

a bunch of this stuff....
--> Package libwpd.i386 0:0.8.2-1.fc4 set to be updated
---> Package dhcpv6_client.i386 0:0.10-14_FC4 set to be updated
--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: net-snmp = 5.2.1-12 for package: net-snmp-libs

---> Package python-numeric.i386 0:23.7-2 set to be updated

--> Processing Dependency: net-snmp = 5.2.1-12 for package: net-snmp-libs
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: net-snmp = 5.2.1-12 is needed by package 
net-snmp-libs

Any help would be much appreciated!!! (this started out 'cuz I wanted to 
compile the latest Anjuta release which tells me I'm missing appropriate 
VTE? rev levels)

Thanks
Michael C
