Hi Bertil, have you tried run the `yum clean [dbcache|...|all]`? There is possible that the mirror you are using is not synced yet.. You may then download the file here (mirror chosen very randomly): $ wget http://spo.linux.edu.lv/fedora/updates/testing/17/x86_64/tcsh-6.17-19.fc17.x86_64.rpm $ sudo yum install ./tcsh-6.17-19.fc17.x86_64.rpm Pavel
Yes, I did do "yum clean all" -- no difference. However, the "wget" worked. I tested your fixed version tcsh-6.17-19.fc17.x86_64.rpm. Works just fine -- problem solved! Thanks a lot!
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Unfortunately, only maintainer can push update to stable and Frido can't do that anymore. Closing NEXTRELEASE as it doesn't seem likely to get this updated via karma mechanism.
