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.
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.
