I have a reasonably fresh install of Fedora 8 with nvidia drivers installed. When I log in a message pops up telling me updates are available. Initially I had problems with ldap and glib2 updating but they have cleared.

Now the only problem remaining is with popt. It fails to update with locale files conflicting with version 1.12-3.fc8. The output below shows what I get from the command line.

This problem has been there from the beginning. The first time I logged in after installation I got the pop-up window and told it to go ahead with updates before I customised anything. I selectively updated until I had only popt, glib2, and ldap remaining. glib2 and ldap updated OK today.

How do I get rid of 1.12-3.fc8 so I can do a 'yum update'?

TIA
Jim
