[Yum] yum won't install python-devel

Hello yumsters,

I have fc4 installed on my Pentium 3 IBM laptop, and I
need to install python-devel so I can compile
psycopg2, but yum says no.

yum list shows this:

python.i386       2.4.1-2       installed
python.i386       2.4.3-8.FC4   installed

and this:

python-devel.i386 2.4.3-8.FC4   fedora-updates

When I fire up python, it says Python 2.4.3.

But when I yum install python-devel, I get this:

Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
Resolving Dependencies
--> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
Please wait.
---> Package python-devel.i386 0:2.4.3-8.FC4 set to be
updated
--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Conflict: python-devel conflicts python
< 2.4.3-8.FC4
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: python-devel conflicts with python <
2.4.3-8.FC4

(I do not see a conflict.  Is there a conflict?)

I would appreciate suggestions on how to install
python-devel.

Thanks,

Rick Graves
