Ummm, the most current python-reportlab is: python-reportlab-1.20-5.fc5. python-reportlab-1.19 hasn't been used since March 30, 2005: * Wed Mar 30 2005 Brian Pepple <bdpepple> - 1.20-1.fc4 - Rebuild for Python 2.4. - Update to 1.20. - Switch to the new python macros for python-abi - Add dist tag.
Hmm.. I see that there is a newer python-reportlab, but yum doesn't want to install it. It wants the older version. Tried a "yum clean all" but that didn't help either.
I'm guessing that the problem is due to the package going from an i386 to a noarch package. Try uninstall python-reportlab with yum, then installing it again.
It's not currently installed. That was the first attempt to install.
Hmmmm, that's very odd. I just did a clean installation yesterday on a machine, and was able to install it correctly. I don't quite understand why a FE5 repo would even have python-reportlab-1.19 rpm. When I have some more free time, I'll try to track down the problem.
I was able to successfully install it from a clean FC6 machine.
