I've had the same problem. You have installed Python 2.3, and up2date is being run using Python 2.3. However, libxml2 is installed for Python 2.2. Most probably, /usr/bin/python or /usr/local/bin/python links to Python 2.3, not Python 2.2. Try to link this one to Python 2.2 instead of Python 2.3. This problem is caused by the fact that Fedora Core 1 uses Python2.2, while many other applications use Python2.3. Libraries in Python are installed for a specific version. Most Python apps run /usr/bin/python, so that they often just run the 'latest'. If the libraries are installed for an older version, they can't be found. There are multiple solutions possible for this problem: - Include Python2.2/site-packages in your PYTHONPATH (see 'man python') - Re-install libxml2 for Python 2.3 (painful because of RPM dependencies) - Link /usr/bin/python to python2.2 as opposed to Python 2.3 (I advice this one) - Let Fedora use Python2.3 everywhere - this is done in Fedora 2, so the whole problem doesn't arise anymore.
