So... I upgraded to rawhide today, to be greeted by:

I eventually managed to get into a twm shell somehow (through xdm), and
established gnome programs segfault in libfontconfig: FcCreateStrList
(or maybe it was FcStrListCreate).
However, after rebuilding the package from source rpm, all problems are
gone. Why?
Interesting issue (although I definitely remember you having worse
problems with dwalsh's laptop over the summer ;). I would say bugzilla
would be your best bet though.
Also, that reminds me once again how hard it is to recover from
rawhide. Why can't old versions of rpms be kept on the download server,
to aid users in the case of a critical failure?
To keep people on their toes :)
You can most likely recover from a broken upgrade by digging
around /var/cache/yum for old packages, assuming you don't `yum clean`
on a regular basis.

Hi Luke,
This bug is caused by not running the %post script(s) of fontconfig.
See my other message called "Random RPM script failures".
This makes that bug (rpm script failures) even more important to track
down,
since it's no longer just an annoyance - it's critical to having a
working system.
