Updating YDL 3.0

[Lewis Coleman]

I got one of those errors, too.  Mine was for php-domxml, however.  (I 
knew something was funny when rpm said that it was there, but couldn't 
be removed because it WASN'T there!)  I believe it happened when my 
computer crashed in the middle of a yum transaction.  I think I fixed 
it by rebooting (thereby running fsck?) and running rpm --rebuilddb.  
With glibc, however, rebooting may be fatal.  Anyone else?  Running the 
"yum" method of upgrading from 3.0 to 4.0 is not the greatest.  I 
finally was able to use anaconda on my 4.0 install disc to upgrade my 
"Old World" powerbook 3400--I was able to reformat and start on a clean 
disc.
