When attempting to install up2date on a box that isn't running any gui installation fails due to dependencies. Documentation suggests that up2date can be run completely as a command line tool (up2date -l and up2date -b). The dependencies are all gui related. The specific dependency failures I'm seeing are: pygnome is needed by up2date-1.13-1 pygtk is needed by up2date-1.13-1 rpm-python >= 3.0.4 is needed by up2date-1.13-1 (is this one gui related?) usermode >= 1.15 is needed by up2date-1.13-1 Can up2date be used in a non-gui environment? If so, are these dependencies bogus in that situation?
fixed in errata being released shortly. Yes, the new agent can be used in a non-GUI environment.
