What in the? OK, you got trouble, of course. Are you using a standard FC4
update repository, or some home brew repository?

Umm. Can you look in /var/cache/yum and see what packages are there and how
they may have been installed or not? And can you make a copy of /var/lib/rpm
to set aside, and run "rpm --rebuilddb"? And is this a machine that someone
