Re: updates

Jack - and anyone else with this problem...

First, delete the development packages



rpm -e gnome-core-devel-1.0.4-34

repeat this for all the development packages you've installed. If you 
don't know which ones you've installed, you'll find out when you try 
to upgrade; you'll see the dependency errors. Just delete the 
development packages and you should be able to proceed.
