I am using "yum update" to update my Fedora2 test2
everything works fine except one thing, it says like this:
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1.91 - Development Tree
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers

Resolving dependencies
.Package ethereal needs libpcap.so.0.8.1, this is not available.
then the program quits, I search in google for libpcap.so.0.8.1, no result matched
I just came across the same problem as you and my previously suggested work around isn't quite enough. For some reason I needed to do:
yum --exclude ethereal --exclude libpcap update
to get the desired effect. A quick search on the RedHat bugzilla turned up 117152 - "yum seems to ignore exclude option in yum.conf" which may be related.
Hmm.. why do you have to convert it into binary file?
As far as i know, You don't have to.
All you have to do is to install the fedora core.
if this is what you want.
