Before I go off on a rant about this...
Somebody please tell me that there is an "easy" way to do this, and I
just do not know it. Because what I've tried so far isn't working.
I know it has been moved to extras. But what "yum install ???" will
actually install it? It is a complex set of numerous rpm's with
multiple interdependencies. I thought maybe I could get going with
"yum install xfce*" and then figure out the rest, but after processing
numerous dependencies, it fails on a missing dependency:
"xfce-mcs-manager = 4.2.1-3.fc4 is needed by package
xfce-mcs-manager-devel". So I "yum install xfce-mcs-manager" by
itself. The "yum install xfce*" still fails on the same missing
dependency.
But, am I reading the error message incorrectly? So I try "yum
install sfce-mcs-manager-devel" and this successfully installs 14
packages. Then I go back to "yum install xfce*" and it finds 17
packages to download and install, but it dies on the second one
because it is unsigned. So I change "gpgcheck=" to "0" in the extras
repo. Same result.
After all this, I still don't have xfce.
