Actually, my standard routine is to do "yum clean all," then "rpm
--rebuilddb," then "updatedb," and only then "yum update" each time.
On the theory that I might have forgotten that somehow, I've just
commanded "yum install kdepim" again. It asked my OK to install it and
one dependency (kdepim-libs) -- and did it!
I don't know what means "the offending package below /var/cache/
yum"
I don't know whether today's success with kdepim means that I did
forget the clianup yesterday, or that something has been fixed overnight;
but I'll go try the other things that were removed with kdepim.
