So how did you install, and how did you update?
Sorry for the slow reply. Traveled to NYC today, no access to FC7 until tomorrow. I installed from a i386 DVD, Bittorent download from Fedora Wiki. I have to admit that I use Yum from the command line because I like to monitor the update progress. Pup is good, but when dependency resolution etc.. takes awhile it just looks frozen. Maybe we could geek Pup out a bit and add an open window option to show the work in progress? Kind of like the boot-up option.
Never mind about pros/cons of different tools -- what happened here is that system-config-printer-libs got installed without one of its dependencies, and so whichever tool you *did* use did something wrong. I think you're saying you used anaconda to install (i.e. the normal way) and yum to upgrade in this instance, so I'm changing the component to that (anaconda) and reassigning.
When did you do your install? There was a point at which this was happening a while back...
I downloaded http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents//f7-test4-i386.torrent (DVD) Tuesday night 5/22 then installed & upgraded yesterday.
This should be fixed for F7 final
I've been using Red Hat since 1998, really looking forward to FC7...thanks for your help and best of luck!
