    To further add to the problem: yum did not remove the updated code. I
    found this out by checking for more gimp packages:

    [root@taltos ~]# pre gimp
    gimp-2.2.2-0.fc3.3
    gimp-print-4.2.7-2

    [root@taltos ~]# yum erase $(pre gimp)

    I should add that this is on FC3, as updated. Yum is version 2.1.12.

    Thank you
