Apologies if this is repetitious, but I'm not on the fedora list.
1) I trust you've applied your thorough integrity checks to the
libxml2-python package as well as the python package.
2) rpm -q libxml2-python
I have: libxml2-python-2.6.6-3
3) md5sum /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libxml2mod.so
md5sum /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libxml2.py
I get: 001cfb1b9fc59a4adad7e14f82034aee
4437491aecc872b46adfc816e89ce579
4) python -c 'import libxml2'
This should do nothing, but there's a good chance you'll get a
traceback.
