/lib/libexpat.so.1 is what it wants, and /lib/libexpat.so.0 is what is
installed.
expat-1.95.8-8.2.1 is currently in rawhide. Can that or whatever be
updated anytime soon?
You must've missed this week's flamewar.
I don't know if this expat package does, or does not install, the updated
shared library. But, whatever the case may be, the requirements of
third-party vendor proprietary non-free[1] binary blobs will not be a factor
into any decision to release or not release any particular package.
ATI's driver must be for some other Linux distro that uses a newer expat,
and it doesn't work with Fedora. Take it up with ATI.
