Hello Mick

the version 1.0.4-1 of cairo is available under:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/

and the i386 or x86_64.

The command syntax to install the package is:

# rpm -U cairo-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm --force --nodeps

or

# rpm -U cairo-1.0.4-1.x86_64.rpm --force --nodeps

respectively. --nodeps is required because of unsatisfied dependencies
which could be ignored (in my case).

After that a

# /sbin/ldconfig

is required.

Unfortunately these steps are required after each "yum update", because
this will reinstall the newest cairo version. The addition of option
"--exclude=cairo" will abort the update process because of unsatisfied
dependencies.
