If nothing else pulls in the library up2date will puke it's guts out and unwind a long string of errors, leading the clueful to the exact cause. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-4.3.19-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ensure libxl2-python isn't installed. Note that RPM will not complain if up2date is the last dependency. 2. Try running up2date, console or gui. 3. See the wreckage. See the attempt to import libxml2. Additional info:
Simple fix is to install libxml2-python. Then it works. I guess I'm suprised that something that seems so simle to fix would not have been fixed by now.
