Fedora Core 11 & Mailscanner Install Fails

The last stable and the last beta.

Yes but you remove all RPM's every time. And if the install fails you have 
a broken system. Even cpan doesnt function anymore after a failled install 
since it simple rpm -e's all it wants :)

I have seen dependency issues. You could play one one of the machines 
where its happening if interested. No problem. Meanwhile i have found my 
way of fixing it ;)

Bye,
