What is installed BEFORE yum installs pam? Is coreutils already installed? Has yum just installed it? Is there any possibility that it is installed but, for whatever reason, its files are not accessible yet, maybe some sort of syncing issue? What version of rpm is being used on the system where yum is running originally? thanks, -sv _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
