Hi Steve, starting a new thread here as this has segued off the
original subject.

So, now I'm a bit curious and concerned.
The curious part: What is it about yumming in RHEL 5, and apparently
not in SL5, that makes yum-complete-transaction indispensable? :-)
The concerned part: I know I can easily install yum-utils (now that
I know about it), but why is it not included in SL, and more importantly
is there a possibility that something gets screwed up by *not* running
yum-complete-transaction, when my SL5 yum says to? Instead, I ignored
that and just went ahead with a 'yum update' and as far as I can tell,
things are ok.
