Summary     : NumPy: array processing for numbers, strings, records, and objects.
Description :
NumPy is a general-purpose array-processing package designed to
efficiently manipulate large multi-dimensional arrays of arbitrary
records without sacrificing too much speed for small multi-dimensional
arrays.  NumPy is built on the Numeric code base and adds features
introduced by numarray as well as an extended C-API and the ability to
create arrays of arbitrary type.

There are also basic facilities for discrete fourier transform,
basic linear algebra and random number generation.

Unfortunately I have about 600 machines that need this package installed and
dont really have the time to hand install them all.


How reproducible:
I can repeat this, and can provide the RPM source file if neccesary.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. build rpm
2. add to RHN channel
3. run up2date-nox -i numpy
  
Actual results:
up2date says its already installed and exits

Expected results:
package should be installed.
