That's not correct. In addition to being able to fetch from a remote repository, yum is also capable of acting as a wrapper for rpm for installing locally stored RPM files. It'll check what dependencies the RPM file has, and go out to the 'net to satisfy them if it can. It does, however, appear to be extremely stubborn about installing unsigned packages, such as the RPMs from the scribus site. I was surprised to discover that it doesn't pass the argument --nosignature through to RPM if you give it to yum. > As root, type 'yum install scribus' and that should do it, as long as > you have Fedora extras in your repo.d (which I think is automatic for FC4). That'll get you the version of Scribus in Fedora Extras. In this case, it's been updated to 1.2.2.1 so that's fine. Thanks for pointing that out. This is definitely the easiest way to get 1.2.2.1 onto a FC4 system. -- Craig Ringer
