Ok, so here's what I'm getting this morning, when 'yum update' tries to
update Xen on my Fedora 18 beta to 4.2:

# sudo yum update

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I installed this yesterday, and I installed Xen and libvirt via the
following:

# yum install xen libvirt-daemon-xen

Also, I noticed that the libvirt-daemon-driver-libxl got installed
(although I thought it shouldn't and wasn't :-O):

# rpm -qa | grep libxl
libvirt-daemon-driver-libxl-0.10.2.1-1.fc18.x86_64

Is that correct and aligned with the discussion we were having since now
(i.e., going for Xen 4.2 but _without_ the libxl driver in libvirt)? Am
I missing something or doing something wrong?

Thanks and Regards,
Dario
