If they decide to stop supporting a package, then that package will most likely be dropped from the repository for the next Fedora release. I looked into your problem with Scidavis, and managed to solve it like this: 1. Fetch and install the muParser-1.32 (1.34 causes Scidavis to crash) from here: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/17343337/dir/fedora_16/com/muParser-1.32-2.fc15.x86_64.rpm.html 2. Fetch the last available RPM for Scidavis here: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/15927176/dir/fedora_15/com/scidavis-0.2.4-4.fc14.x86_64.rpm.html Install both packages (in the same order you downloaded them) by using yum localinstall <package_name>. Worked on my machine at least...I am running F17 but I can't imagine you would have trouble on F18. -- Best, Christopher Svanefalk mob: +46762628251 skype: csvanefalk Resume (LinkedIn): http://www.linkedin.com/in/csvanefalk
