Description of problem: The python-2.2-16 packages of RHL 7.3 contains some tools in /usr/bin: $ rpm -qlp python2-2.2-16.i386.rpm | grep /usr/bin /usr/bin/idle2 /usr/bin/modulator2 /usr/bin/msgfmt2.py /usr/bin/pydoc2 /usr/bin/pygettext2.py /usr/bin/pynche2 /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python2.2 Most of them are removed by the security upgrade: $ rpm -qlp python2-2.2.2-3.7.3.i386.rpm | grep /usr/bin /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python2.2 An errata should not do such removals.
Umm... yes, you're right.
Fix confirmed with python2-2.2.2-11.7.3 which should be going out shortly as errata.
