Sorry, my postings were probably confusing.
I installed FC-3 on a number of machines,
and had problems with "yum update" on several of them.

However, all except one were fairly trivial,
and seemed due to the fact that the "mirrorlist" entry
did not work for some reason.
When I substituted local sites it worked fine.

The only machine I had serious problems with
was the first one I installed FC-3 on,
where for some reason a "rawhide" version of python was installed.
I've solved the problem on this machine
by applying the two tiny python patches I found
in the bugzilla you mentioned elsewhere,
< https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=138535>,
for which many thanks.

I'm not a "developer" in any sense,
and am very careful now to set "enabled=0"
in all the files in /etc/yum.repos.d/
except fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo .
