Hi,

I've investigated this bug and can't reproduce it.
The build appears to have failed on python2.4-xml (or its equivalent in 
FC4);
it does not fail on either python2.3 or python2.4 in Debian.

Can you please ensure that your python installation is correct? the
program ./iso2pot.py is breaking on a perfectly correct call. It appears
that python-xml is incorrectly set up on your build environment.

Regards
Alastair
