I just went to the AWStats site and downloaded the rpm. Since it was a
noarch I had no problems installing it on RHL 9 system. Actaully it was a
Vserver so I installed it on all the web sites there.
I have alos seen several postings ( which escape me now ) that recommend
_not_ using fedora.us because of the issue you state above and others.
I have nearly all my Fedora Core systems pointed at dries' and/or dag's
repositories and have had far fewer problems since going that route. In
fact ; a quick peek shows AWStats 6.4-1.2 at dags
(http://dag.wieers.com/packages/awstats/) right now and place March 8th.
