Downgrading of rpm-python from 4.0-4 to 4.02-7x solved the problem

After checking with other bugs it seems that in those cases _upgrading_ 
of rpm-python solved the problem. In my case _downgrading_ provided 
workaround. The problem is reproducible. IMHO it seems that last version
of rpm-python is not compatible with last version of up2date.

Comment 4 Need Real Name 2001-03-27 11:17:06 EST

Oops - my mistake. I did _upgraded_ rpm-python :)
So the only issue left is wrong dependancy check.
New version of up2date should require last version of rmp-python.
