yum update missing pygtk2-python

[IanWaring]

I added atrpms the other day (this may be unrelated), and today did a yum update - and there seems to be a new version of the Linux kernel and a whole pile of updates (took 10 mins or so listing all the dependencies). However, it finished with a missing dependency, asking for pygtk2-python of at least v2.4 to build bittorrent-gui. I can't find such a beast anywhere. Any ideas how to fix this?

What FC version do you have? Look at my post "when will Fedora get its act together" on the pitfalls of third party repos.

Can you attach the output of the command yum check-update ?

Sorry, FC4. The output is long... but the tail end of it is:

Wow proceed with caution. Whatever repos you have enabled are going to update nearly everything you have. Try disabling third party repos and do a yum check-update again?

Grab one or two rpms from third parties, don't enable repos wholesale unless you are sure what you are in for!!

[IanWaring]

just blatted atrpms and now it wants to only update the kernel and some dbus packages.

I used atrpms to get some video codecs working, so shouldn't need that again in a hurry.

Thanks very much indeed for your help.
