Problem with yum
I find yum a marvelous resource, so the following should not be taken
as even a mild criticism.
I recently tried to download gnokii-devel,
but I was told this required an older version of gnokii than I had,
as shown below.
I'm not sure where I got the "fc8" version I have -
I don't normally open any non-standard repositories,
but I might have done so in error.
I tested "yum remove gnokii" but this would have removed
dozens of packages.
I'm just wondering: what is the standard way of dealing with this
yum quandary, if indeed there is a way?
