problem updating

[Michael_E_Brown at Dell.com]

The deps on dell-repo-tools changed. It used to have extraction stuff inside it, but that moved to a firmwaretools plugin inside firmware-extract. Dell-repo-tools now only provides a few extensions to firmware-extract specific to certain Dell bios formats, so it grew a dep on firmware-extract.

rpm -e dell-repo-tools

Yeah - sorry...I should have done that last time

# rpm -qa|grep firmware
dell-firmware-repository-1-4
firmware-addon-dell-1.4.10-1.el5
firmware-tools-1.5.10-1.el5

# rpm -qa|grep dell
dell-firmware-repository-1-4
firmware-addon-dell-1.4.10-1.el5
dell-unsupported-repository-1-4.el5
