KDM Broken After Yum Update
Afternoon, list,
I ran "yum update" this morning. After the update, KDM was borken,
rather severely hosing my KDM config. Here's what yum installed (from
/var/log/yum.log):
Feb 18 08:54:55 Updated: libmp4v2.i386 1.5.0.1-3.fc6
Feb 18 08:54:59 Updated: selinux-policy.noarch 2.4.6-37.fc6

Feb 18 08:57:19 Updated: spamassassin.i386 3.1.8-1.fc6
Feb 18 08:57:23 Updated: ghostscript.i386 8.15.3-4.fc6
Feb 18 08:57:39 Updated: amarok.i386 1.4.5-3.fc6

Feb 18 08:57:43 Updated: dnsmasq.i386 2.38-1.fc6
Feb 18 08:57:43 Erased: kde-config-kdm
Feb 18 08:57:51 Installed: kernel-devel.i686 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6
Feb 18 08:57:51 Installed: kmod-nvidia.i686 1.0.9746-1.2.6.19_1.2911.fc6
Feb 18 08:57:52 Updated: smolt.noarch 0.8-1.fc6
Feb 18 08:57:53 Updated: autofs.i386 1:5.0.1-0.rc3.19
Feb 18 08:57:53 Updated: system-config-printer.i386 0.7.52-1.fc6
Feb 18 08:57:54 Updated: kde-config-kdm.noarch 3.5-17.fc6
Feb 18 08:58:06 Updated: selinux-policy-targeted.noarch 2.4.6-37.fc6
Feb 18 08:58:09 Updated: man-pages.noarch 2.39-7.fc6
Feb 18 08:58:10 Updated: rsync.i386 2.6.9-1.fc6
Feb 18 08:58:10 Updated: kde-config.noarch 3.5-17.fc6
Feb 18 08:58:11 Updated: kernel-headers.i386 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6
It looks to me like the suspect updates are kde-config and kde-config-kdm:
$ rpm -q kde-config kde-config-kdm
kde-config-3.5-17.fc6.noarch
kde-config-kdm-3.5-17.fc6.noarch
But, not being a yum expert, I'm not sure how to proceed. What I think
I want to do is revert to the previous versions of kde-config and
kde-config-kdm, but, 1) I'm not sure if that's really what I want to do
and, 2) I don't know how to do it. Anyone have a cluebat handy?
Thanks,
Kurt
