A few days ago, I was updating my FC4 installation, doing the usual
apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade, and noticed that the fluidsynth
library version being updated from fedora was causing swami to complain
about its favorite version of the library not being the same as the new
one (I don't know, lets say version 1.0.6.10, as opposed to the new
version, say 1.0.7.1).  It prevented the update, so I was forced to
remove swami from the system in order to proceed.

FYI, should it matter.
