Running F14 x86_64.  I didn't upgrade the kernel - waiting for ATrpms kmdls

[John@localhost ~]$ su

[root@localhost John]# needs-restarting 

3433 : /usr/lib64/thunderbird-3.1/thunderbird-bin
5567 : /usr/lib64/firefox-3.6/firefox-UILocaleen-GB

Thunderbird and Firefox restarted here

Update smart's package caches:

[root@localhost John]# cd /var/lib/smart
[root@localhost smart]# /usr/bin/python repomanage.py --old ./packages | 
xargs mv -t ./purged1
[root@localhost smart]# /usr/bin/python repomanage.py --old ./purged1 | 
xargs rm -f
[root@localhost smart]# needs-restarting
[root@localhost smart]# exit
exit

Haven't seen any problems yet...
