If it also objects, it would point to some rpm db problem. There seems to be a bug that leaves the rpm db scrambled. It happened a year ago and a month ago. The first time the db was permanently scrambled and I just waited till FC6 came out to reinstall from scratch. The second time rebuilddb seemed to fix everything up well enough to allow "yum update" to work. I always did wonder if I was missing something. Oh well, come f7 I'll reinstall from scratch again and that problem will be swept under the rug. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S. Rupprecht http://www.wsrcc.com/wolfgang/
Gene, On my system "rpm -q python" produced two installed versions. Also two installed versions of python-devel were found. Try removing the older versions using rpm.
