So they too are packaging a version of pilot-link that the pilot-link developers SPECIFICALLY asked not to be packaged. I'd say you're screwed with FC4 then and should either downgrade, or upgrade both pilot-link and kpilot to latest version from source.

I've encountered this issue as well. Although I was able to sync with FC4. After I installed FC4 I was able to sync. It was not until recently when I updated my system that things changed. I did notice that udev/rules.d 50-... has Palm Handheld in the rules. Which it didn't used to. Not sure when that got there. I'm guessing it was something in the last 2 months that broke it for me. It used to work, and now it occassionally works, but mostly not working.
I just downgraded to pilot-link-0.12.0-0.pre2.0.i386.rpm I still cannot sync. At this time I am not sure if this issue is with pilot link or if it is a kernel / udev issue. It was not until I updated udev that I started running into this problem. Udev was updated around Feb 9 rpm dated 23-Feb-2006.
i have already reverted to stable version 0.11.8. It's availanle in fc4-update-testing. Thanks for your report.
