Hi!

I've got three Centos-5.3 machines. one of' em ran the latest updates without trouble.

the other two are giving me grief. both giving the same error:

		# yum update

I don't get this: /usr/share/magic/mime exists. it's not trying to
install or update httpd. where is it getting this dependency problem from?

More importantly, how do I resolve it?

Thanks!
