I did that, just got done and rebooted as it updated (or downgraded as 
the case might be, I had a much newer cdrecord installed) about 30 
packages includeing a bunch of compiler and glibc stuffs.

It also removed hotplug, eroaster, gtoaster, & xcdroast FWTW.  I use 
k3b, safelu hidden away in /root/kde3.whatever anyway.  It didn't 
seem to be doing anything to my 3 pango installs either (I didn't see 
any messages re that go by).

>you could do google on 'man apt-get'

I have the $MANPATH fixed now.

I found that, and fixed it from freshrpms.net's list.

Actually I did the upgrade from a rh8 install, using the FC1 cd's I'd 
dld and burnt.

All this didn't fix yum though, its still doing this:
[root@coyote root]# yum update
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ?
    import yummain
  File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 31, in ?

    import comps

    import libxml2

    import libxml2mod
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libxml2mod.so: undefined 
symbol: xmlByteConsumed
[root@coyote root]#

Sigh...

I built kde 3.2.3 using konstruct, and the last "cvs up -dP" about 10 
days ago broke that so bad that I'm back on kde-3.2.0, 3.2.3 won't 
even init anymore, and it won't build either.  Thank to intuition, 
the last time I formatted and reinstalled, I gave root 10Gb to play 
in, so I can put the whole kde install in /root/kde3.2 
or /root/kde3.2.3 & all I have to do to switch is reset the env 
stuffs in /root/.bashrc, exit x, logout and back in and restart 
startx.

Just for giggles & grins, whats the md5sum on your libxml2mod.so?  
Here its:
001cfb1b9fc59a4adad7e14f82034aee  /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libxml2mod.so
