I just updated a RH Linux laptop using "up2date", and it went pretty
well, though I am confused about the "ignored" upgrades... Also, I
would prefer if it only offered to upgrade packages already installed
(or, if I do have all those damn packages loaded, including a
U.N.-class number of foreign language files, I guess I need to do some
serious pruning)...

I suspect the problem with RPM dependencies is that no one organization
makes the rules (like Sun with SOlaris packages), so it seems a bit
schizo at times...
