FC2 with lots of updates via tarball builds, but that should not be related, I've (up till now) been carefull not to touch the yum/python/libxml2 stuffs after getting burnt previously. >what version of yum? yum-2.0.7-1.1 >what version of libxml2 and libxml2-python are installed? libxml2-python-2.6.16-2 libxml2-devel-2.6.10-1.1.fc2.nr libxml2-2.6.16-2 I've since tried to re-install the 2.6.10-1.1 stuffs but apparently failed. It was yum that upgraded it all to 2.6.16-2 this morning. There are pieces of python-1.5, 2.2, and 2.3 installed here. Its been that way since I upgraded RH7.3 to FC2. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
