Hi,
Apologies if this is a FAQ, but I saw no FAQ or list archive when I
subscribed.
When I installed Fedora 14, I tried the KDE LIVE install, but it seemed
to be a minimal install, and trying to install all of the packages I had
on my Fedora 11 box wasn't going too well.
So I reinstalled with the full distribution and got GNOME desktop. I
tried it for a while, but I still prefer KDE. When I run:
yum install @kde-desktop
I get the error:
cups-libs-1:1.4.6-1.fc14.x86_64 is newer than cups-libs-1:1.4.4-11.fc14.i686
(approximately - it takes too long to run it just to get the exact
message). If I ask:
yum downgrade cups-libs-1:1.4.4-11.fc14.i686
it doesn't do anything, and if I ask:
yum remove cups-libs-1:1.4.6-1.fc14.x86_64
in an attempt to get KDE to install and then reinstall the newer
package, it wants to remove 247 packages, which doesn't sound like a
good idea.
Is there any alternative to going back to the KDE live install and
trying again to install all the missing packages?
Thanks
Jim
