I was starting to run a yum update on one of my servers and noticed that it wanted to install Thunderbird for some reason. Running yum with the '-v' option gave this output:
gamin-python-0.1.7-8.el5.i386 requires: /usr/lib/python2.4 --> Processing Dependency: /usr/lib/python2.4 for package: gamin-python Needed Require is not a package name.

TSINFO: Marking thunderbird-2.0.0.22-2.el5.centos.i386 as install for gamin-python-0.1.7-8.el5.i386
Why is it trying to get the python lib from Thunderbird when the Python package is already installed?
I don't really want Thunderbird installed on a server. Any suggestions?
Thanks
