	Somewhat later : I did "yum remove privoxy" and it did, without 
taking anything else; so I did "yum remove xorg-x11-drv-synaptics" and 
again it took only the one item. This reminded me of that old-time 
dependency hell; so I took a deep breath and did "yum update" yet again. 

	It soon reached :

	Again I assented. Almost immediately it wanted a public key for 
Acetone! And sat there while I typed the above, then said :

	On a hunch, I tried yum update os-prober; that looped back and 
choked again on its key. So I'm trying yum update --exclude=os-prober.

	Lish me wuck, wots of wuck; and I help all this helps somebody 
somehow.
