There was a problem with the caribou package (it was noarch in F15, in 
F16 the x86_64 installer would update to the i686 version).  The 
solution is to log in on the console, and "yum erase caribou", then 
re-install (if you want; it's not really needed for most environments). 
  A simple "yum update" might work as well, since I think they figured 
out what the problem was.  But the solution I described first worked for 
me on several machines.
