Hello,
    Sorry if this is a bit vague but I'm witting this at work and trying 
to remember as much as I can ... I'm trying to use the excellent redhat 
updating utilities (yum/pup).
    When I try to run yum/pup to update my newly installed fc6 distro, I 
get unresolved dependencies involving qt-*, and both programs refuse to 
do an update because of the required dependencies.  I tried to find the 
version of qt requested at the Trolltech web sight but it looks like 
they have moved to version 4.+ (maybe I just didn't look hard enough?).  
Is there a way I can have yum/pup install the versions needed and then 
complete the rest of the update? 

    It would be nice if these programs would install the other packages 
that are in need of an update but don't require the "external", 
libraries etc.  Is there a command line switch for this?

    Thanks for any words supplied,

    John
