[mrbill@area51 mrbill]$ up2date

(here it asked me for root's pw in a pop-up window)

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 118, in ?
    from gui import Gui
  File "/usr/share/up2date/gui.py", line 10, in ?
    from client import Client
  File "/usr/share/up2date/client.py", line 12, in ?
    from rpmdb import *

    from package import *
  File "/usr/share/up2date/package.py", line 24, in ?
    import rpm
ImportError: No module named rpm

And, if I try to run it as root, same thing:

[root@area51 /root]# export DISPLAY=localhost:0
[root@area51 /root]# up2date
