They are left- over 3rd party or other packages missed by the upgrade. If you've been using 3rd party repositories, add FC3 versions to yum config and upgrade again. Anything still left may be suspect. Have also found that apt sometimes fixes things yum has trouble with, and vice versa, but apt can't handle (x86a_64) multi-lib well. Phil
