Re: Package updater wants to update uw-imap, which isn't installed

I'm running dovecot, not uw-imap, but the package updater (the little

1) Why would it do that?

Do you perhaps have the "pine" mail client installed? If so, pine uses
the libc-client package, which comes with uw-imap. When you build
uw-imap from the source rpm, it creates a separate rpm for libc-client,
so I'm not sure why pup thinks uw-imap needs to be updated instead of
libc-client.

2) How can I tell it I don't want it, so it doesn't come up again?

Maybe put uw-imap in the exclusions list in yum.conf? Or build the new
uw-imap from the source rpm and just install the libc-client package.
