The problem is more or less resolved. I haven't seen the error message since yesterday sometime. As far as I can tell the problem was due to a massive number of packages that the upgrade from Fedora 11 to Fedora 13 failed to upgrade, including lots of dependencies. Using Yumex I have been going through the list and updating all the packages that it says need updating. I am up to k, except for a few that will not update due to missing dependencies. For some reason Yumex displays the updatable packages in alphabetical order, except Virtualbox-OSE and Virtualbox-OSE-guest, which it lists at the top of the list. And those two refuse to update; each says the other is a dependency and it can't update either without the other. Nor will Yumex uninstall either one. I have most of my installed apps working, except for Virtualbox-OSE., which will not launch. There are a couple others that will not launch as well, but I'll work on them later. I need Virtualbox only a couple times a month, but when I need it I really need it. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
