I am a little nervous about suggesting this since he did not get the typical iteration over non-sequence but I had a problem where redhat-config-packages would start act like it was going to work and then die returning nothing to the gui but it did leave the error I just mentioned in the gnome-terminal. This was from the linuxquestions.org thread that solved my dying redhat-config-packages issue: > millionyearsold > Newbie > > > Registered: Dec 2002 > Location: > Distribution: > Posts: 1 > > > I had the same problem, tried the same solution with the same result - > i.e. I still had the problem.
