Hello Folks

I've installed a tor package from the fedora repo some time back.

Today I removed that package and attempted to install similar package
from the tor repo: http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/rpm/fc11/

In response I got yum install tor:
...
Transaction Check Error:

Error Summary
-------------
...

I've removed all those files manually (rm etc) with no affect, I've run
rum clean all a couple of times with no affect and I've run rpm
--rebuilddb with no effect.  These files do not exist:
[root@morgansmachine ~]# stat /etc/logrotate.d/tor
stat: cannot stat `/etc/logrotate.d/tor': No such file or directory
[root@morgansmachine ~]# stat /usr/bin/tor
stat: cannot stat `/usr/bin/tor': No such file or directory
[root@morgansmachine ~]#

Where to next please?

Many thank.
Morgan.
