-Anyways i cant update either of these two packages, not really sure what they are





libssh2.i386 0.18-9.el5 epel
libssh2-devel.i386 0.18-9.el5 epel

Im running Fedora 10 and i just got repository for epel and RPM Fusion
any help would grateful thanks

first the el5 repo is for CentOS5.3 and not fedora 10 so uninstall that repo and remove/uninstall any centos5.3 rpm's you installed on fedora 10 .
then seeing as there is a bug in the install dvd use the terminal to do the yum update

ohh... oops i guess i should have read the fine print lol,
any my package installer has a internal error and i followed a example on how to install the repos and im not sure how to unistall the repo or do i just modify the code that installed it

well let's see what cent rpm's are installed run this in the terminal
then use yum to uninstall the el5 packages from the list from the command above ( but leave " epel-release-5-3.noarch" this for last )
-- example --

thanks for the help. it fixed it, i did the yum update rpm yum command it said no packages were avalable so i it was just the repo

and come to find out the command is erase not uninstall
thanks again

oops i keep switching "erase " and "uninstall "
