Latest update on the Fedora upgrade saga:

Error: missing dep: libebook.so.8 for pkg openoffice.org
Error: missing dep: libedataserver.so.3 for pkg openoffice.org
Error: missing dep: libdb_cxx-4.2.so for pkg openoffice.org-libs
Error: missing dep: /lib/security/pam_loginuid.so for pkg openssh-server
Error: missing dep: gcc for pkg gcc-g77

Why is yum telling me this? Why doesn’t it just go out get the packages and fix it?

[Update about 11:15 AM EDT]

OK, I checked, and it seems to think that gcc is installed for Core 3:

[root@linux-station ~]# rpm -q gcc
gcc-3.4.2-6.fc3
gcc-3.4.3-22.fc
[root@linux-station ~]#

So I tried an update:

[root@linux-station ~]# rpm -Uvh gcc
error: open of gcc failed: No such file or directory
[root@linux-station ~]#

Then I tried it with yum:

[root@linux-station ~]# yum upgrade gcc

In other words, it says it needs to have gcc installed to update gcc?
