Thanks! FYI, I just seemed to discover that the actual upgrade process completed, but the cleanup afterwards part is what died. I'm showing various packages with two versions of packages installed. For example: [root at laptop me]# rpm -q thunderbird thunderbird-1.5.0.5-0.el4.1.centos4 thunderbird-1.5.0.5-0.el4.2.centos4 Now, I'm in thunderbird right now as I type with no problems or anything. Is there a way to re-run the yum process and force the cleanup at this point? Or am I stuck here? Max
