Sorry, I accidentally created a dup. Please close.
*** Bug 187367 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
xerces-j isn't part of FC3 so I'm unsure how this is a Fedora problem.
Then where did it come from? The only non-standard software on this box is big brother (bb) and that was installed separately, not installed with yum. All I know is that yum worked while this was a FC3 box, but it doesn't now that it is an FC4 box.
Go ahead and close. I deleted a bunch of rpm's including xerces-j and now yum works. Hope I don't need any of that stuff.
