While trying to run up2date, a dialog window appears then hangs.  The
following is part of the error message.  The full test is in the additional
info section:
[root@dizzy /root]# up2date
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/libglade.py", line 28, in __call__
    ret = apply(self.func, a)
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/gui.py", line 164, in onStartPageNext
    (self.pkgList, self.skipPkgList) =
up2date.getUpdatedPackageList(pwin.setLabel, pwin.setProgress)
 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Terminal Window
2.  Type up2date
3.
	

Actual Results:  Dialog window hangs at 2%.  

Expected Results:  up2date should show files to be updated.

I did check to make sure the correct version of python was installed:  It
is 
python-1.5.2-27.
