curl-dev dependency problem with updates
by Robert La Ferla
The latest updates for FC3 has a dependency problem. The rpm for
curl-dev needs libidn-dev (or something like that). Anyone else see
this problem?

Firefox not starting properly
by Rodd Clarkson
Firefox is not starting properly for me since updating (almost
completely - control-center has a conflict so wont install) to the
current development rpms
When I try to run firefox I get nothing on the screen.
A look at 'ps ax | grep firefox' shows:
[rodd@trevally ~]$ ps ax | grep firefox
3394 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/firefox -UILocale en-US
3415 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/firefox-bin -UILocale en-US
3420 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/firefox-bin -UILocale en-US
3523 pts/2 R+ 0:00 grep firefox
[rodd@trevally ~]$
I can kill these processes, but it doesn't help.
Any ideas?

what about nautilus-media?
by Michal Jaegermann
Does anybody know what is the deal with 'nautilus-media'? This
package blocks for quite a while now updates to other nautilus*
stuff and, indirectly, a number of other things. Nothing also seems
to obsolete that. OTOH it looks that it is safe to just deinstall
it and proceed with the rest. Is it just temporarily "forgotten" or
truly obsolete? Its build date is "Tue 02 Nov 2004".

preferences - I don't get it
by Michal Jaegermann
After very recent updates the whole Applications->Preferences
menu just vanished and together with it all entries for configuring
such details like fonts and how they are rendered, keyboard layout
and shortcuts, how menus and windows and mouse behave, network
proxy settings, options for removable media, screensaver, themes,
you name it. All the basic stuff.
It is true that something called Applications->Other showed up and
which covers stuff which really only root should ever see. There is
also something new named Desktop->Preferences wasting together with
new "Places" more of a valuable space on a panel. None of the
things mentioned above show up there. There are some _extremely_
important things in this submenu like "Login Photo". And there is
something called "Mail Transport Agent Switcher" which shows up even
if you have only _one_ MTA installed and there is nothing really to
switch.
But assuming that you have at least two MTAs it will indeed switch.
Moreover it will do to that from a non-root account and without
asking for any passwords. Truly amazing! I am not sure how it
does that; it does not seem to be something obvious like
"suid root" somewhere, at least not where you would look, but this
does happen. Links in system directories do change. Now every
Dick and Harry can randomly mess, at any moment, with yours carefuly
crafted and configured mail setup. A barrel of fun. If you happen
to have two MTAs installed this must be, obviously, to provide
some entertainment.
Is all the above just unfinished yet a version transition or some
kind of an elaborate joke? If this is a joke then I do not get it.

Yum doesn't seem to be working.
by Rodd Clarkson
Each time I use yum, it goes through all the motions, but isn't
installing the rpms.
For example:
[rodd@localhost packages]$ sudo yum update nautilus

Hosed yum
by Cam Desautels
My yum got hosed after installing some faulty test packages...it dies
with an "ImportError: No module named rpm" when I try to run it. As
this was a couple months back, I imagine there are decent packages out
now.
What packages would anyone suggest I reinstall (from rpm) to fix
this? I'm guessing something python-related, but I'm not certain
what. Thanks.

Setting up a DNS server
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Anyone know of any easy to follow instructions of setting up a DNS
server under FC? I'm doing it all from the terminal, so no fancy GUI
interface stuff allowed ;-)
