Tnxs for the comments.  I must be missing some step.  It appears that I
have to delete many of the gnome, etc pkgs for get rid of the dependency
on "so.1" of the library OR I need an FC5-T1 distro, to start with those
obsolete pkgs not installed.

I suspect if I go back to my reference FC4 development distro (pre FC4
release), and do all the updates, I think I will arrive where I am now.

Does this mean I have to butcher all those pkgs that have a dependency
on "so.1" of those libraries?
