It's because on fc3, yum and rpm and libxml2 are all located
in /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/, whereas on fc4 they are located
in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/. The upgrade of python 2.3.4 to
python 2.4.1 utilizes the same executable binary: /usr/bin/python,
without notion of version compatibilities. The yum binary utilizes
#!/usr/bin/python and therefore technically can work with any python,
but it's a bit deceiving, since it won't work because the above
explanation. I like to force #!/usr/bin/python2.3 to make it dead
obvious the package needs to be upgraded...
I'm not sure why you had to downgrade, since I have those versions on my
system and it works. Maybe an ldconfig problem?? Not sure.
