[Rpm-metadata] Update 0.4.11-0.9.8: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'RPMSENSE_PREREQ'

[David C. Rankin]

Guys,

	I updated my createrepo install to the current 0.9.8 package on my Arch Linux 
server. I have 4 openSUSE repos I maintain. All updates with createrepo worked 
fine with 0.4.11. After updating to the following:

beecrypt-4.2.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
kid-0.9.6-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
python-iniparse-0.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
repoview-0.6.5-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
rpm-5.1.9-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
yum-3.2.28-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
yum-createrepo-0.9.8-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
yum-metadata-parser-1.1.4-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

     I receive the following error on my opensuse_11.0 repo. (~6900 rpms). 
However, my opensuse_11.3 repo updates just fine (~1200 rpms). The error I get is:

[13:55 nirvana:/home/backup/rpms] # createrepo --update -d openSUSE_11.0/

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'RPMSENSE_PREREQ'

     I know very little about python, so I need a bit of help on where I should 
start trying to figure out what is going on. Any ideas?
