    I am trying to upgrade from Fedora 7 to Fedora 8 and keep getting the following message

    Error: Missing Dependency: libxcb = 1.0-4.fc8 is needed by package libxcb-devel

    I have followed the instructions to upgrade very carefully but cannot upgrade due to the above message.

    I am new to Linux and desperately need help. Thanks

    Try this:
    Code:
    wget ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/fedora/updates/8/i386/libxcb-1.0-4.fc8.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh libxcb-1.0-4.fc8.i386.rpm
