first, you don't need *both* -U (which means upgrade) and --freshen (or -F for short). either one will do in your case. you have a couple of options: 1) upgrade/freshen *both* the bind and bind-devel rpms using the same rpm command -- that will deal with the dependencies. 2) remove the bind-devel rpm first. unless you're doing development work using bind, you very likely don't need that rpm, and you can always install the newer one down the road if you need it. rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
