When I run yum update it complains that I am missing
some kind of musicbrainz package or other and then
just exits. To top it all off the package is there. My
cdrom won't mount, and my system fails on firstboot. I
hope the next version fixes these bugs.

I normally use up2date to update my system but
up2date had some problems
(reported in bugzilla) with the gcc packages in
FC4T1 so I thought I would
give yum a try.
Now many (most?) source rpm packages which result in
multiple binary rpm
packages all have names of the form
NAME-xxx-ver-rel... However, the gcc
packages do not and have a variety of names. To
complicate things I am
running FC3T1 x86_64 which means there are both
x86_64 and i386 packages to
update.
If I do "yum update cpp" I get all of the packages
but only the x86_64
versions and I really need to do both. The only way
I could get both was to
specify "yum update libgcc libgnat ..." where I list
all of the packages
which have both i386 and x86_64 versions -- this
works BUT is there an easier
(simpler) way to update gcc? BTW, I could not just
do "yum update" since
some other packages had conflict problems.
Another question that occurs to me is how to tell
yum to "reinstall" a
package ... the package has been installed but I
want to "force" reinstall
it. For example, lets say a package has both x86_64
and i386 versions and I
have updated the x86_64 version but not the i386
version. Now I want to
update the i386 package but to reinstall the x86_64
package at the same time
so any /usr/bin or /usr/sbin files get the correct
version installed.
