Hey, everybody:<br>
<br>
I thought I should follow up on my <a
href="http://nblug.org/pipermail/talk/2005-September/009406.html">original
post.</a> It's been a month or so and I finally worked up the nerve to
try an update of my xorg* packages. For anyone facing a similar
problem, I suggest starting here: <a
href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/XorgUpdateFix">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/XorgUpdateFix</a><br>
<br>
The important info boils down to this: The package
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU has a funky postrun script which is supposed to
help remove the old package when a new one is installed. As a result,
some people end up with 2 versions of the package. The above link
recommends doing a surgical removal of the offending package:<br>
<pre> rpm -e --allmatches --nodeps --noscripts xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU
</pre>
and then a reinstall:
<pre> yum install xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU
</pre>
I'm hoping that most people using FC4 were able to avoid this. It may
be that the offending package was introduced <u>after</u> the package
that ships with the distro, so you can hop past the bad package if you
were to install FC4 now.<br>
