pygnome-gtkhtml fixed in next build of gnome-python2. timeconfig needs a redhat-config-date TUI and an obsoletes in redhat-config-date. All the rest are just old dead packages.
I just wrote a TUI for redhat-config-date to replace timeconfig. redhat-config-date-1.5.7-1 should replace /usr/sbin/timeconfig with a shell script that launches a python replacement for the timeconfig command. For historical reasons, the name of the program will remain 'timeconfig' although it is now a python program that uses the redhat-config-date backend. I also made redhat-config-date obsolete timeconfig in the spec file. QA, please verify
