And locate *.rpmsave /etc/X11/X.rpmsave /etc/alchemist/namespace/printconf/local.adl.rpmsave /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap.rpmsave /etc/selinux/targeted/booleans.rpmsave /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia.rpmsave /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhn-applet.rpmsave Looking at these files does not lead me to anything I can recognise as being a problem.
