Mixing packages between releases is in general a very bad idea and likely to break all over the place. When you say you updated "only" those 4 packages, you mean you using rpm --force or something? Updating those with yum would likely result in pulling in most of rawhide, leaving you a hopeless melange of f16 and rawhide. If you must have the versions from rawhide, pull down the src.rpms and rebuild for f16. Of course you may need to adjust for versions in f16, etc. kevin
