I´m getting this message when trying to update all the patches within Linux Fedora Core 3 with "up2date".
Does anybody know where I can work this out? It´s the first time I´m doing it.
Thanks a lot!

Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies...
There was a package dependency problem. The message was:

To solve all dependencies for the RPMs you have selected, The following
packages you have marked to exclude would have to be added to the set:

Package Name Reason For Skipping
======================================================================
kernel-2.6.12-1.1381_FC3 Pkg name/pattern
kernel-devel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 Pkg name/pattern
kernel-doc-2.6.12-1.1381_FC3 Pkg name/pattern
kernel-smp-2.6.12-1.1381_FC3 Pkg name/pattern
kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.49_FC3 Pkg name/pattern

Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
hal-0.4.7-1.FC3

Fedora core 3 has been moved to legacy with the introduction of FC5, so update your yum configuration, then run:

yum -y update yum
yum -y update

Yum is another updater isn't it?
I'm using up2date. I don't know if there is anything related. But I'm not using Yum. Can it be done with yum?

Just asking because I really don't know. And don't know if both (yum, up2date) are related in any way...

Both yum and up2date perform similar functions, but up2date seems to be in the process of being phased out in favor of yum (and in FC5, it graphical interface "pirut").
