Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2005-12-14 02:45:20 UTC
This isn't a yum bug, things are in flux as gcc 4.1 moves into the tree with an
incompatible libgcj

Comment 2 Peter Quiring 2005-12-14 19:57:29 UTC
FYI : I think if you manually install (-i --force) the new libgcj-4.1 then
things should work out nicely.  I've done this but the login screen has problems
loading now and it fallsback to an older program to do this.  The About Gnome
applet also crashes after doing this, but most apps seem to work.
