O.K., I have now the following setup:

o Red Hat 8.0
o rpm-4.2-0.70 (including all needed updates, elfutils etc.)
o a working apt for rpm 4.2

Up to this point everything works fine. I have managed to build and maintain
rh80 rpms and repositories with rpm 4.2. In fact, it works better than with
rpm < 4.2 (no more spurious hangs).

If I try to build the latest yum sources, or use the built rpm for phoebe,
http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/2.0/daily/yum-phoebe-1.8-20030307.1.noarch.rpm
I get the following:

This is due to a call to

	httplib.HTTPResponse.__init__(self, sock, debuglevel, strict),

while python-2.2.1-17 has (in /usr/lib/python2.2/httplib.py):

	def __init__(self, sock, debuglevel=0):

Does yum 1.8/2.0 require a python upgrade?
