Still no luck.  Still get the missing dependency errors.

Agreed, but apparently, something confusion is happening between RPM and
Yum.  I tried to check what imlib provides on my system:
[root at phoenix ~]# rpm -q --provides imlib
config(imlib) = 1:1.9.13-23
libImlib.so.11()(64bit)
libgdk_imlib.so.1()(64bit)
libimlib-bmp.so()(64bit)
libimlib-gif.so()(64bit)
libimlib-jpeg.so()(64bit)
libimlib-png.so()(64bit)
libimlib-ppm.so()(64bit)
libimlib-ps.so()(64bit)
libimlib-tiff.so()(64bit)
libimlib-xpm.so()(64bit)
imlib = 1:1.9.13-23


So it is obviously there and installed, and yet, I am still getting the
error msg:
Error: Missing Dependency: libgdk_imlib.so.1 is needed by package
gtk-engines

I even went so far as doing an rpm --rebuild in the hopes that something
would change, but still no such luck.  Would submitting the yum trace be of 
any assistance in tracking down this problem?  It's a bit large (ie: 50Kb), 
so I didn't want to attach it for nothing....


Any ideas?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
