[LINUX_Newbies] Fedora 14

 

I am using F14. Things are generally going well. However, package
management is a bit confusing. I can install from the command line
using yum and rpm or from Yumex with the GUI. But for some strange
reason, neither Packagekit nor Add/ Remove Software work. I get the
same error. I get no such table: packages and package list needs to be
rebuilt. It says to use the backend to fix it. I have done this from
yum using the commandline, but it does not seem to do anything in
Add/Remove or Packagekit.

It is mystifying. I am used to Ubuntu where apt and Synaptic are
basically the same thing. If one works the other will. If Synaptic
works then Software Centre will too.
