Yum3, the older python-based version we have known, yum4, also python but based on the dnf backend, and dnf. I assume there is a /usr/bin/yum. Is it yum3 or yum4? Is yum4 really dnf in disguise? Or is it something intermediate between yum3 and dnf? Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie jcu at labadie.us 11226 South Shore Rd. (703) 787-0688 (H) Reston, VA 20190 (703) 935-6720 (C)
