Yeah, I sure did. Something bad happened. I'm not sure if it's related, but somehow netscape completely forgot all of it's preferences too. I solved it by: (from my bash history) - remove the rpm-python and rpm-devel packages (may have required --force) - download rpm* from updates - download up2date-* from updates - download python-popt* - rpm -Uvh rpm-4.0.4-7x.i386.rpm popt-1.6.4-7x.i386.rpm --nodeps - rpm -e up2date-gnome - rpm -Uvh up2date-2.7.46-7.x.2.i386.rpm - rpm -qf /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/poptmodule.so - rpm -Uvh python-popt-0.8.7-7.x.2.i386.rpm - rpm -Uvh up2date-gnome-2.7.46-7.x.2.i386.rpm This fixed it, and there's probably a better/faster way, but it was only a junk box and I didn't care (I did backup the original RPM db, however).
