The error was: No module named kerberos --- and it works on ia64 and s390x
Installing the ppc package fixed this. ppc64 apparently uses a 32-bit userspace by default, so the python was 32-bit adn didn't look in lib64 for kerberos.so.
That's strange. Do we need to do anything in this case? Should some Bug for python/python-kerberos in 5.10 be filed?
I can look at the packaging guidelines to see if there should be an arch dependency on python, but I doubt there is. This was caused by manually downloading and installing an rpm. This is definitely an edge case.
Closing as CURRENTRELEASE - the issue was fixed in 5.10
