Not sure if this is the right place to report this, but it seems there is a conflict between the current version of the monetdb fedora rpm install and an up-to-date fedora 8:

Transaction Check Error: file /usr/lib/libmal.so.0 from install of MonetDB5-server-5.4.0-1.fc8.oid32.i386 conflicts with file from package libmal-0.31-7.fc8.i386

Any suggestions? (I'm not too keen on uninstalling libmal, as that entails also uninstalling significant parts of kde). When I first got the message I thought it might be that my fedora 8 was out-of-date, but I performed a full update and still get the problem.

Not really, it's just a conflict between MonetDB and some palm pilot synchronisation package that both have a libmal. Not much we can do in this case than adjusting for the problem at hand, because the other package is obviously more widely used.
