That would depend on how many other FC6 packages you installed along with the FC6 glib2 package. If it doesn't work, post the output you get from the above commands. Paul.
The GUI version of smart (Smart Package Manager) is really handy when you need to downgrade or contend with packaging conflicts. You just click on an older version of a package; smart resolves the dependencies; accept changes; and you're on your way. Get smart, smart-gui, smart-update, and ksmarttray from extras repo.
