Hi,

I have recently upgraded from fc1 to fc development and I had various problems,
I report here. I can fill bugzilla bugs if needed.

* yum and python were updated but libxml2-python wasn't updated.

* similar thing for system-config-network-tui with rpm-python and kudzu that
weren't updated (and maybe other python modules, but I don't remember very
well).
This resembles 
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=114221
which was closed as notabug.

* Some files were still in /usr/lib/python-2.2, causing python-2.3 packages not
to be used (if I understand well). 
The following files and directories were still in
/usr/lib/python-2.2/site-packages there:
Ft  gtk-2.0  libxml2.pyc  rhpl  xf86config.pyc  _xmlplus

* I had to copy my alias lines from /etc/modules.conf to /etc/modprobe.conf.

* There is the issue of /dev/psaux for kernel 2.4 versus /dev/input/mice
for kernel 2.6 in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Not sure it can be fixed, though, 
when both kernels are installed.
