Description Bill Nottingham 2003-11-25 22:15:00 UTC 
Machine has:

[root@devserv i386]# rpm -q python2 python
python2-2.1.1-6beehive
python-2.2.3-5

up2date says:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
python2-2.1.1-6beehive                  python-2.2.3-5

and then tries to install python-2.2.3-5, which fails:
