I am having the same problem as
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...itscripts+pppd
except with yum. Any thoughts?
# yum update
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base
Server: macromedia.mplug.org - Flash Plugin
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Released Updates
Server: Fedora Core 2 ( xcyborg / stable )
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Resolving dependencies
.conflict between initscripts and pppd
Here's my yum.conf.
# This is a yum.conf for Fedora Core.
# It uses Fedora mirrors to make things faster,
# since the main Red Hat Fedora site is pretty slow.
#
# Also, if you look down in the "Alternate Repositories"
# section, you'll notice some commented-out repositories.
# If you want to use them, uncomment them.
