Hello, I hope you have an idea how to help me. I will look forward to open eventually an entry in rhel/centos bugzilla if it is the case.. thanks in advance anyway for any suggestions Problem: in both rhel/centos 5.1 and 5.2 x86_64 (but probably it is not arch specific) it seems that m2crypto, needed by yum, creates problems with SOAPpy (as downloaded by EPEL repository, together with python-fpconst). In Fedora 9 @ Home no problem with the script below, because it seems m2crypto is not needed by yum and infact I have not it on the system this is an example of code with problem $ python Python 2.4.3 (#1, Dec 11 2006, 11:39:03) [GCC 4.1.1 20061130 (Red Hat 4.1.1-43)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import SOAPpy >>> url = "https://websrv:8443/Soapsrv/services/srv?wsdl" >>> proxy = SOAPpy.WSDL.Proxy(url) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

[snip] I don't know if it is related. the problem is that I can't remove m2crypto without removing yum itself.... and it seems not a perfect solution to rename the dir...
