For you Fedora peeps, a quick question:

I am trying to install the kdelibs-devel package so that I can compile some extra KDE apps on my own. The problem is that e2fsprogs is a dependency and it wont let me install kdelibs-devel because it says the e2fsprogs I have is newer than the one it's trying to pull in.

I know there is probably some command I can run like "--force" or "--skip" or something along those lines, but I don't know what it is. Or, will the package not work with a newer e2fsprogs?

I tried the Fedora forums, but getting a response there takes as long as X-mas.

(P.S. e2fspropgs is evil. I had all kinds of problems with it in Gentoo, though it was the Gentoo dev's fault).

It was just a mirror issue. Since the kernel update was so recent, the mirrors didn't have time to update everything. It's fixed now.
