Another good thing to try (thanks to Seth Vidal for this tip as well as
for yum) is

# rpm -qa --last

Look for packages older than when the install was done.  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.
