If not, try removing yum-changelog. (That one gave me some weird problems similar to what you describe.) </blockquote>huh, I can't slocate yum-changelog but I am seeing some yum files with .rpmnew and .rpmorig. I assume rpmnew = FC5 and the intact file is the FC4? When rpm does over write a config file .rpmorig is produced and the current config file would be FC5? Weird, I had read that the new yum behavior was to erase the rpm packages upon completion, but I found 300+ rpm files still there. Something amiss between .rpmnew and .rpmorig? I did do the yum upgrade path and darn near have a working machine again... I'm happy.
