I haven't been able to find the problem, even copying the schemas from my machine to his yields no results. Attached is part of the update process I ran today on the machine. Will paste smolt profile of the machine after I'm done updating. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fedora 2. Update Actual Results: GConf Schemas break.

reassigning to libgweather as it looks like it is coming out of there. Might also be gconf2 but I'm not positive.
Actually, that was just part of the output. The error output started before the libgweather update. I control+z'd yum at that specific point, and inside the screen session that is what was shown, so I copied/pasted. I did not append any logging to yum, which is something I rather regret doing. Might be an issue with gconf2, but it beats me why my laptop (pavilion dv6775us) doesn't present this issue, and every time I try to put fedora on that box and update it, it goes ballistic like that.

OK... reassigning to GConf2 then for now, though that still might not be right. My best guess would be something like "the default system locale used to be non-UTF8, and so the gconf schemas got installed with that charset, and then you changed it to a UTF8 locale (or gconf got updated to always use UTF8), and now it's choking because of the mismatch". But I don't know if gconf really works that way... But is that possible (system used to have a non-UTF8 locale and now has a UTF8 one?)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
