Mike what happens if you use rpm to do the update to the fedora
package? If you already said it worked sorry if I missed it. I am
having trouble with believeing that it is up2date that is causing the
problem rather than rpm itself or a mis packaged rpm in some manner.
If it is up2date I have even less confidence in it.
