Hi,

With some effort, and help from the guys on #anaconda at freenode (thanks!),
today I finally installed a bare-metal F15 system (part of the complication
was my existing partitions).

Then I updated it to rawhide.  However, the whole point of this was to
be able to compile and test some things, yet I cannot install gcc:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
----------------------------

Unfortunately, neither of those "you could try ..." suggestions helps.
Can anyone suggest an easy way out, or should I just wait for a day or two?
