Ice-9:
My machine is connected to the Net but I've got the Red Hat Firewall settings on "High", no exception rules.

Here's a snippet of the output I get :

Also all the network config stuff appear to have a Size, permissions and MD5 change

First of all, let me say I am having similar problems so it appears not to be a hack. I suspect some packages on an upgrade must have been screwed up. I will try and track it down and let you know how to fix it. I don't have all of the problems you are having (my "rootfiles" package appears to be OK where yours appears to be missing some files). Must have been that new repository I added. What does your "sources.list" look like?

But I already removed the last two sources since they were taking forever to update and it was not like there was THAT much in there that I would ever need.

Anyway, glad to hear that I may not have been rooted (I have been with my Win2K install in the past and it was not a pleasant experience!).
I hope you can find some sort of solution, I've been searching all day long in various mailing lists on  the different errors I had, mising packages, etc ... and I found nothing   :(  
But if I manage to find something I'll post it here too.

voidmain:
I think I might have found the problem. I believe it is related to pygtk2 which is what all of those other programs depend on. I'm in the process of sorting it out and will let you know of the fix. Hopefully shortly... If that is the problem then I'll need to figure out which repository the package came from and nuke it.

voidmain:
Ok, I think I have mine fixed. Here's what I did:

# apt-get remove pygtk2

which on my system selected around 25 total packages for removal (most of them being "redhat-config-*" packages). You'll want to open an editor and copy/paste the list of packages into a file so you can reinstall them later. Then I modified my sources.list file and commented out all the repositories except for the "freshrpms" one. Then run "# apt-get update" and then synaptic (or apt-get) and install all of the packages that were removed. All fixed.

I have to assume it had to come from tuxfamily or codefactory repositories as I believe they were common to both of our configurations. I'll try and narrow it down to the exact one and get it out of my apt tip on my site.

That would not explain why your "rootfiles" package is screwed up. You might need to reinstall that one as well (/root/.cshrc etc). Do an "rpm -qil rootfiles" to see the list of files included in that package.
