Re: Updating fc5 with yum

Hello,

I have fc5 installed. Yum actually works.

I need to update gtk2 (=gtk+) from 2.8.15 to 2.8.20. On the website of the
Fedora Project
(http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/) I
can see the package "gtk2-2.8.20-1.i386.rpm".

But If a use yum (--> "yum --enablerepo core -y update") I don't see the
update "gtk2-2.8.20" in my console. I get a "No Packages marked for
Update/Obsoletion" message. Is my baseurl of the fedora-core repo wrong
(see further down)?

Thank you,

Dan

Is there a reason you haven't made your machine current? As Markku said, core and update are enabled by default.

# yum update yum
# yum update
