    In case you need daily bk snapshots, they are here:

    |
    | I'l go see if I can get the patch in broken out form.

    | Mmmm, no, I guess I won't. I've just upgraded this machine to FC2,
    | and gftp is one of the many things broken by this, an strace exit of
    | trying to run gftp, most recent release:
    |
    | writev(2, [{"/usr/bin/gftp-gtk", 17}, {": ", 2}, {"error while loading
    | shared libra"..., 36}, {": ", 2}, {"/usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0",
    | 29}, {": ", 2}, {"undefined symbol: pango_fc_font_"..., 44}, {"", 0},
    | {"", 0}, {"\n", 1}], 10/usr/bin/gftp-gtk: error while loading shared
    | libraries: /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol:
    | pango_fc_font_map_get_type
    | ) = 133
    | exit_group(127)
    |
    | And libpangoxft is this:
    | [root@coyote root]# locate libpangoxft-1.0.so
    | /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0.399.1
    | /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so
    | /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0
    |
    | with the latter 2 links to the first one.
    |
    | So I'd love to find this and fix it. FC2 broke way more than it fixed
    | on this machine. And yum update did run just fine once I got some
    | similar problems with libxml2 sorted. Sorry. Hints on this also
    | gratefully accepted of course.
    |
    | In the meantime I'll cp my .config back to rc1 and see it it happens
    | with rc1.
