Many thanks to all who responded to my plea for assistance with getting 
gnucash up and running again after upgrading from FC4 to FC6.

Derek, Bill and Matej all contributed a bit to the solution. Derek to 
drop the .i386, Bill to use --noscripts during removal of 
librsvg2-2.9.5-2.i386. I didn't try each suggestion on it's own, rather 
both together. It worked!

I was then able to remove the gnucash-2.0.4-1.FC4.i386.rpm I built under 
FC4. The binary gnucash-2.0.4-1.FC6.i386.rpm still didn't install though.

However, getting rid of the old stuff altogether and rebuilding the 
binary anew I was able to install it with no problems.

There's a moral in this somewhere :-) It probably is something like 'If 
it ain't broke, don't fix it' Upgrades with FC are notoriously flaky. I 
should have backed up my home directory and done a fresh install of FC6, 
then restored my home directory. Still, all this has kept me out of the 
pub for a bit :-)

Thanks to everyone again.
