Hmmm. I downloaded the r20083 src rpm to dig into this. I had to install
a pile of devel packages just to get it to "rpmbuild -bp". This caused
the symptoms to change, it was at a line in tmdb.pl doing some xml stuff
and got file not found. So on a hunch I yum installed
{perl,python}*{xml,XML}* and it started working. So I had some
unsatisfied dependency. When installing the devels I had to erase some
stuff from fc8 to allow some fc10 packages to satisfy dependencies so
maybe when I did the fc10 update (on top of the other updates in the
past) "something bad happened" (TM).

So, working now. I guess redhat isn't kidding when they say install is
recommended over an update...

Thanks for all the help
