    I had an issue with one lib file missing and it was due to a different
    repository (atrpms) missing the library in their version of the RPM.
    When I updated the rpm it removed the FC lib.

    I have filed a bug report.

    This is one issue of using different repositories.

    I traced the problem by finding which package was to supply the
    missing lib and then comparing the package from atrpms and FC.
