selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum update 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: If it is updated then it should be updated. The messages are cycling between adding and deleting packages. Additional info:
You're using the mirrorlists and some of the mirrors are out of sync. Hence the changes.
Is there a list of best mirrors and info about where to apply it to FC4? What are the best locations to reduce this drift? Is there such a list for rawhide? The info will help reduce spurious bug reports that are mirror synch dependent. Thanks, PFE
