[Fedora-haskell] Missing header.info for fedora 3 repository

[Dan Weston]

This did not fix the problem. I am using yum 2.2.0
yum update from a root shell does work, but up2date doesn't. It keeps 
looking for the header file. When run from a shell, I get the following 
output:

[root at DAN etc]# up2date

gtk.TreeView

All those warnings can't be good!
