Hmm and what is the problem when you use "yum upgrade tcpdump"?
Please note that this error is discovered immediately after a "fresh install." But, basically whether I use "install or upgrade/update", yum says it hates itself and commits suicide. Seriously, since I do not have access to the Internet on that PPC system I'll force the mirror I use to re-download it and check it again tonight.
I'm in the process of preparing a system test for PPC FC5Test3 -- I'll see if this is an issue after I've got a working system. Thx/Bill
any news?
Sorry for the delay; yes, the latest header in "development" does install and uninstall the tcpdump package correctly. However that was tested on the i386 -- I cannot test the PPC version as I no longer have a PPC to test the FC5 stuff with. I vote setting this to "resolved" and wait to see if anyone else reports a PPC-centric problem.
