I keep seeing people stupidly say do "yum clean all" to solve some problem. I say "stupidly," because they offer the advice without good reason, or when it's got absolutely nothing to do with the problem. It's the same as Windows users blindly doing reboot & reinstall. Hoping that for some strange reason, doing the exact same thing over and over will generate a different result. -- [...@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
