Hi Fernando,
   Well, there are two copies:

up2date-3.0.7-1
up2date-3.0.7.2-1

rpm -e --allmatches up2date failed for dependencies. (firstboot, others,
etc...) 

There were no messages. The machien just hung for 30 minutes or so with
no activity and top said the system was 100% idle.

So, how do I proceed?

Thanks!
