Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2007-12-06 20:30:47 UTC
rpm -q kdelibs kdebase thinkfinger
please.

In the meantime, you can see if
rpm -e thinkfinger
helps.

Comment 2 Ben Boeckel 2007-12-06 20:46:50 UTC
$ rpm -q kdelibs kdebase thinkfinger
kdelibs-3.5.8-7.fc8
kdebase-3.5.8-5.fc8
thinkfinger-0.3-7.fc8

I'll report on the effect of removing thinkfinger after I boot back up again.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2007-12-06 20:59:22 UTC
Updates have been issued, please
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing kdebase
and see if that helps any

Comment 4 Ben Boeckel 2007-12-08 03:27:34 UTC
Getting rid of ThinkFinger fixed it. I will test with the kdebase in 
updates-testing later this weekend.

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 08:52:21 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '8'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 6 Bug Zapper 2009-01-09 05:26:42 UTC
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
