yum festival

[Henry A. Leinhos]

Andrew, 

I believe that yum is telling you that the currently installed xsane-gimp 
et.al. require libgimp-1.2, and can't update them because the (freshrpm?) 
repository doesn't have updates for them. 

As I recall (at least for the freshrpm yum repository), there is an update 
for gimp-1.2 up to gimp-1.3, but the updates don't include updated packages 
for xsane-gimp, perl-gimp, and the like.  I avoided the rpm upgrade because 
gimp-1.3 does not have the gimp-print plugin ported yet (neither does 
gimp-2.0, as far as I know), so I ended up upgrading everything but the 
GIMP. 

Hope this helps. 


BTW, I don't know how to exclude updates for particular packages using yum, 
so I just did a "yum check-update" and did a yum update for all the packages 
that I know I wanted.
