I cannot upgrade avahi or avahi-glib using yum because of a config file/dependency conflict. I can't remove and reinstall it because it requires wiping out nearly half the system packages. Take a look what happens when I try it two different ways: -------------------------- $ sudo yum install avahi Password: Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Package avahi.i386 0:0.6.16-2.fc6 set to be updated ---> Package avahi.x86_64 0:0.6.16-2.fc6 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: avahi = 0.6.15 for package: avahi-glib --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: avahi = 0.6.15 is needed by package avahi-glib Code: ------------------------ $ sudo yum install avahi-glib Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

I installed it myself and tried to install avahi. This is what happens: --------------------------- $ sudo smart install avahi Loading cache... Updating cache... ######################################## [100%] warning: avahi-0.6.15-1.fc6@x86_64 is already installed Computing transaction...Code: $ sudo smart install avahi-glib Loading cache...

Created attachment 146688 [details] Page from FedoraForum in which I stated the problem and another user suggested I file a report on BugZilla
If you want to just upgrade avahi try yum update avahi instead yum install. I can upgrade my avahi on fc6 x86_64 with no problems. If this problem still occures or this is not what you wanted to do, feel free to reopen this bug.
