I was doing a relatively fresh yum update of my newly installed FC4 x86_64 system when I get the following at the end of a list of updates and so on: ======= ... ---> Package tetex-xdvi.x86_64 0:3.0-9.FC4 set to be updated ---> Package kernel-smp.x86_64 0:2.6.15-1.1833_FC4 set to be installed ---> Package pvm.x86_64 0:3.4.5-5_FC4 set to be updated ---> Package openssh-askpass-gnome.x86_64 0:4.2p1-fc4.10 set to be updated ---> Package yelp.x86_64 0:2.10.0-1.4.2 set to be updated ---> Package libungif.x86_64 0:4.1.3-3.fc4.2 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Conflict: kernel conflicts udev < 071-0.FC4.2 --> Processing Conflict: kernel-smp conflicts udev < 071-0.FC4.2 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: kernel conflicts with udev < 071-0.FC4.2 Error: kernel-smp conflicts with udev < 071-0.FC4.2 ======= I cannot run a general update on the distro at this point.

You have to update udev to udev-071-0.FC4.2 ... should be on your mirror!
I already have udev-071-0.FC4.3 installed as this yum list indicates: ============ % yum list udev Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Installed Packages udev.x86_64 058-1 installed udev.x86_64 071-0.FC4.3 installed ============= Is 058-1 also installed and how do I uninstall it if it is causing my trouble? Thanks! Jim.(In reply to comment #1) > You have to update udev to udev-071-0.FC4.2 ... should be on your mirror!
you should not have both installed!!!! # rpm -e udev-071-0.FC4.3 # yum update udev
