The Fedora Release package delivered with Test 1 only enabled
development and extras-development which both point to a development/
dir rather than a release versioned dir. Did you make a change?

It is figured out by looking at rpm query output of the package that
provides 'redhat-release'. In fedora land, this is the fedora-release
package.
Thanks, Jim & Jesse, for setting me on the correct path. Yes, I had just
copied my old FC5 repos over the FC6 ones as I had added other repos.
Restoring them fixed the problem.
Damn, can't yell at anyone else for problems I make. Grrrr
When might release notes for FC6 become available?
Thanks.
Tom
