Comment 1 Rob Crittenden 2009-05-05 17:59:35 UTC 
A python 2.4-ism.

For a quick fix you can edit 
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ipapython/certdb.py

And change it to: class CertDB(object):

You'll need to restart the httpd service too.

Adding the change to certdb.py looks good.

Thanks for the quick fix.
