I an not aware of ANY redhat release that "comes that way". Please can you
clarify what release of RedHat you installed? Thanks.

Please recheck your notes. You stated:

Which is true?  No matter, nuke libpng2 since it should not be around here.

  Jay> Nope; the conflict messages said the files belonged to libtiff.


I'd love to see this. If it's true, the conflict must have been with libpng2,
which at the moment is a wildcard to me . . . where it came from, what it
contains, and what it clashes with.

Can you show me the output of 'rpm -qi libpng2' please?

What's wrong with ftp.redhat.com (and its mirrors)? That's all I ever use.
