Do you have libtool excluded in yum config or something similar?
There is libtool-1.5.16.multilib2-3 in the FC4 updates repository
which depends on 4.0.2, so when you update both gcc and libtool all
dependencies are satisfied.
ok, figured it out. the libtool on my FC4 system was not the standard
one, but one from axel thimm's AT repo which had a slightly higher
version number and therefore took precedence over the FC updates one.
argh.
is there some kind of protocol that dictates when third-party repoes
should and shouldn't override packages that should be found in the
standard FC repoes?
