Hi all,

I have been testing SL.304 on a few machines.  Generally all seems well,
but I have a few questions/comments.

1. After installing yum-conf-30rolling-2.SL.noarch.rpm, is there a
difference between "yum update" and  "yum upgrade"?  I tried each on
different machines and the results seemed identical.

2. This is very minor, but starting with an up-to-date SL303 I
got:

   rpm -Uvh /tmp/yum-conf-30rolling-2.SL.noarch.rpm
   Preparing...
        package yum-conf-303-2.SL (which is newer than
        yum-conf-30rolling-2.SL) is already installed

Using --oldpackage worked.

3.  Installing yum-conf-30rolling-2.SL.noarch.rpm left my
/etc/cron.daily/yum.cron but added an executable
/etc/cron.daily/yum.cron.rpmnew.  Should the rpmnew version be
non-executable or is cron smart enough to ignore *rpmnew?

4. The librsvg2 package generated the following error on all three
machines I tried:

librsvg2 100 % done 53/251
/usr/bin/update-gdk-pixbuf-loaders: line 27:
/etc/gtk-2.0/i386-redhat-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf.loaders: No such file or
directory
error: %post(librsvg2-2.2.3-6) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
