Description of problem: Cobbler does not work after python upgrade. How reproducible: Always after upgrade to latest python. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install stock Fedora without updates. 2. Configure cobbler and check is it works. 3. Install updates. Actual results: Cobbler fails due to mismatch of Python version. Python bersion 2.7.2 is expected, but python 2.7.3 is installed. Command "cobbler check" produces following output: httpd does not appear to be running and proxying cobbler Expected results: Command "cobbler check" should work as usual.

How did you upgrade python?
I upgrade my system using "yum update". I addition to Fedora repo, I use packages from Russian Fedora Remix repo and from RPMFussion repo, which are not related to that issue. Currently, I cannot reproduce problem after installing of latest updates using yum.
I've filed bug 844676 as I believe it's actually mod_python, not cobbler itself that produces the error lines.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
