SMART is doing what it's supposed to do. It offers an upgradeable
file, but, because all the mirrors haven't caught up, or because
someone forgot to update a spec file, or because I forgot to
take my meds this am, SMART is warning you that it will have to
downgrade two other packages in order to upgrade the first -
sometimes, that can be very useful. Yumex can't get that
sophisticated, and just returns a failed dependencies error in
the same situation.
Well, yumex is doing it, 168 megs worth of updates, seemingly without
developing a tummy ache.
now - 'bout those meds.....
Yeah. Can I recommend Noni Juice?
