And which has been fixed 6 weeks ago, see the bugzilla entry
above. You probably did not upgrade to these packages, which is why
you have troubles. If you need a fix, then you must also install it :)

Well, w/o a list or any kind of detailed report, there can only be
guesswork applied. Since there are quite a lot of ATrpms users
combining the repo not only with fedora-updates (which goes unsaid),
but also freshrpms, newrpms etc., chances are that your issues are
quite specific to your case.
It could be that there are still bugs somewhere in ATrpms (there is no
place w/o bugs ;), but w/o any detailed report, no good diagnosis is
possible, and thus also no suggested solution.
If you want to see these resolved, please file bugs in
bugzilla.atrpms.net, or bug the atrpms lists (or any repo specific
lists, in case you find bugs in other components). Note that
bugzilla.atrpms.net is a shared bugzilla of a dozen or so repos, not
only for ATrpms.

Thank you.

You don't have to make a thorough analysis, you post your findings,
and teh atrpms lists & bugzilla will help you through.

The above is true for ATrpms packages, at least for FCx. The Red Hat
series have become semi-orphaned (only live in chroots, which makes
testing of most rpms feasable, but kernels & kernel modules).
