Comment 1 Toni Willberg 2012-07-19 11:24:05 UTC 
python-2.4.3-46.el5
libxml2-python-2.6.26-2.1.12.el5_7.2
gamin-python-0.1.7-10.el5
Comment 2 Dave Malcolm 2013-02-27 18:31:01 UTC 
My guess is that you had 32-bit rpms of
  libxml2-python-2.6.26-2.1.12.el5_7.2
  gamin-python-0.1.7-10.el5

Unfortunately rpm in RHEL 5 doesn't show the arch of the packages.

What is the output of:

rpm -qa --qf="%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n" gamin-python libxml2-python
