Should be closed now. This was probably a development issue which has been resolved subsequently
it was and now that yum uses python-elementtree it is moot
I do not see how it could get fixed. yum-2.3.2-7 (of FC4) still has no specific libxml2-python version dependency. yum-2.0.4-2 (of FC1) still tries to upgrade to yum-2.3.2-7 (of FC4) without upgrading libxml2-python. Unable to reproduce this bug with the latest yum-2.3.2-7 (of FC4) due to a glibc upgrade bug: Bug 160978
