Hi, I just setup a CentOS 6 desktop with the nux-dextop repository activated. When installing GIMP (yum install gimp), I get a gimp package as well as a gimp28 package. I understand this is the Nux-Dextop GIMP 2.8 package. Unfortunately this doesn't work so well with my system. It's not localized (menus appear in english, though the system is in French), the main GTK theme (Murrina Gilouche) is not managed and the application has that ugly east german look like in the good old GTK1 days, and there are two redundant menu entries, one of which is not responsive. I'd like to be able to install the plain "official" GIMP 2.6 application on my system, but when I try to 'yum remove gimp28', it takes the whole GIMP stuff down the drain with it. Note: I'm already using the Yum Priorities plugin. Official repos (base, updates and extra) are configured with a priority of 1, the other stuff (epel, adobe, nux-dextop) has a priority of 10. Any suggestions?

You may also have to exclude other files from there as well (if there are dependancies specifc to gimp28 that conflict with regular gimp. It will be trial and error (yum remove gimp .. add in the first exclude, yum clean all ... yum install gimp .. if necessary exclude more stuff .. repeat until it installs. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

"yum install gimp" should install gimp and its deps, not gimp28. "yum remove gimp28" should remove gimp28 and anyone depending on it, not gimp or "gimp stuff" (assuming you are not talking about "gimp stuff" from nux's repo that actually requires gimp 2.8). What exactly is this gimp stuff you're talking about? Can you list those packages?

I don't have any c6 desktops to test that. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Can you list those > packages?First of all, thank you everybody for your quick response. I just found out why gimp28 has been installed alongside gimp. That's because 'yum search gimp' lists all packages: those from [base] as well as those from [nux-dextop]. Now if I install an additional plugin like ufraw-plugin that depends on gimp28, the latter gets also installed. The solution I found was to simply add this to nux-dextop.repo: exclude=*gimp* Cheers, Niki -- Microlinux - Solutions informatiques durables 7, place de l'?glise - 30730 Montpezat Web : http://www.microlinux.fr Mail : info at microlinux.fr T?l. : 04 66 63 10 32
