Actually, the reason I asked is that when 3.4.3 was put on rawhide, I
thought it would be soon released for FC3 and went ahead and installed on
my FC3 system.  Now I have dependency problems.  I will have to fix by
forced downgrading, but it's tedious to figure out the names of all the
packages that need downgrading.  Oh well.
