So, still the same warning.

Hmm... does this work for you, too?

$ python

Python 2.4.1 (#1, May 16 2005, 15:19:29) [GCC 4.0.0 20050512 (Red Hat 4.0.0-5)] on linux2

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import sqlite
import yum.sqlitecache
import yum.sqlitesack

Right, now we're getting somewhere:

[root@dude ~]# python
Python 2.4.1 (#1, May 16 2005, 15:19:29)
[GCC 4.0.0 20050512 (Red Hat 4.0.0-5)] on linux2

>>> import sqlite

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

That's a more meaty error message!

Does that tell you anything?
