Ah the joys of being a Fedora contributor!
The first hint of trouble are the failed to build from source error messages. Apparently, the development versions just stopped building. Upon investigation, it appeared I had an incorrect dependency. Since I was using uuid libraries, I had a dependency on uuid-devel. Well, it turns out that that was for a different set of uuid functions. The ones I wanted were in e2fsprogs-devel… the package for file system maintenance ?!? Well, apparently I’m not the only one who found that odd, and they split that package into ones that made more sense. Hence the breakage.
Net result: Existing packages work, although I’ll update their dependencies to the correct ones. New packages (For Fedora 12, so you don’t have to worry about it yet) will be updated.
