Problems with up2date in FC3 Test3 after install

[Redhatusr]

I have tried installing FC3 Test 2 (2.90) and FC3 Test 3 (2.92).

After installation has completed, I've tried to run up2date --update.

Both times, I get the problem:
Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
alchemist-1.0.34-1 requires python-abi = 2.3
pyparted-1.6.8-2 requires python-abi = 2.3
python-ldap-2.0.1-2 requires python < 0:2.4
system-config-printer-0.6.116-1 requires python-abi = 2.3

I tried to force an install of python (By downloading a non-GPG keyed RPM from another site and doing an RPM -U) , but that ended up breaking up2date. I ended up with errors importing rpm...

Any helpful suggestions?

If I try YUM update, I get:
Processing Dependency: python-abi= 2.3 for package: system-config-printer
Processing Dependency: python-abi= 2.3 for package: alchemist
Processing Dependency: python< 0:2.4 for package: python-ldap
Processing Dependency: python-abi= 2.3 for package: gnome-python2

Error: missing dep: python for pkg python-ldap

Thanks.

i also have issues with updating fc3 and redhat. i used yum in the past but am having issues with that. i have found that if i use red hat and try updating or selecting one or two items that it works...have you tried that?

Thanks for the response.

I'll have to play with it more later. I've just been running "yum update" via the comamnd line and "up2date --update". It appears that yum is now preferred over up2date, but I have problems with it too.

Anyone else have any suggestions?

I think I might have been able to resolve it......... but after updating yum and up2date, it wiped out both the /etc/yum.conf and the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources.

Could anyone post their current yum.conf and sources file for FC3testing3?

what are the commands to display both?
