I get:
[root@coyote src]# md5sum /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libxml2mod.so
001cfb1b9fc59a4adad7e14f82034aee  /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libxml2mod.so
and
4437491aecc872b46adfc816e89ce579  /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libxml2.py

So that all matches exactly..

Correct:
[root@coyote src]# python -c 'import libxml2'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libxml2.py", line 1, in ?
    import libxml2mod
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libxml2mod.so: undefined symbol: xmlByteConsumed
[root@coyote src]#

And why do you say there is a good chance of a traceback?  Or
was that based on the above clip from the original post?

And yum is still getting a tummy ache as above over that.  I guess
I've got to get used to apt-get, at least its still working :(

Any other suggestions short of formatting?, which I'd druther not
do, I'd have to rerip about 3 Gb of music, and chase down a DDS2 tape
drive that still reads tapes to get all my family pix back.

Humm, I wonder if I have enough space on a second drive to grab those
two directories with rsync every night.  I'm stashing quite a
bit of the important stuff now on a second drive thats normally
only mounted for a 4Gb swap on it, leaving about 55Gb for other
uses, like rsync backups.  That partition is unmounted at the end
of the rsync runs, hopefully to protect it.

I'll investigate that tonight.  But first I need a way to shut rsync's
excessive verbiage down to a dull roar, I'm getting 5 megabyte emails
from it now, so I have to compact the localhost folder in kmail
about weekly else it gets too slow.
