Thanks David, Paul and Robin for your help! Still no joy! Heres an update, Firstly i tried: rpm -e --nodeps python python- 2.4.3-8.FC4.i386.rpm
The python-2.4.3-8.FC4.i386.rpm would have no effect at all. "rpm -e" takes a package name as an argument, not a filename. You already gave the package name straight after the "--nodeps"
and: rpm -i --force python-2.4.3-8.FC4.i386.rpm
The --force shouldn't be needed here, since there shouldn't be any conflicts. Try to avoid using --nodeps and --force unless really needed.
[root@d6173 sh]# rpm -V python-2.4.3-8.FC4 ..?..... /usr/lib/python2.4/bsddb/test/__init__.py ..?..... /usr/lib/python2.4/email/test/__init__.py
If you run /usr/bin/python, does it claim to be python 2.4.1 or python 2.4.3?
Paul.
