Although I have python 2.2.3, directory '/usr/lib/python2.3' also exists. And it does have libxml2mod files, but '/usr/lib/python2.2' does not. If I try to install python2.3 I get a lot of failed dependencies (mostly redhat-config-* which needs python2.2), but also it says that python2.3 needs libdb-4.2.so. I seem to be stuck somehow between python2.2 and 2.3 in a kind of 'failed dependencies hell'. Some things need python 2.3 to work others need python2.2 to work (notably yum). Is there a way to set things back to the way the way they were before I installed kdebase3.2? Other than reinstalling everything that is. thanks, Mark McGlone
