Should work. (Yes, I know this has already been resolved, but still...) Jim: you used the --nodeps rpm flag, didn't you? Tsk, tsk. We made fun of ESR when he did that (and then blamed us!). Think twice before invoking that flag; there's usually a reason for the dependency. :-) (FYI, the better rpm hammer to use would be something like: `rpm -Uvh --oldpackage libstdc++-4.1.2-12.i386.rpm`. Too late now, I know, but again, future reference...) This did involve a very real bug (BZ#251035), and there were a corrected set of RPMs in updates-testing (4.1.2-18.fc7) as of Monday, but they thus far haven't been pushed to updates-released. I'll install them on my box and give the maintainer some feedback so they can hopefully get pushed. Jima
