Description Rene Zbinden 2006-04-21 07:07:29 UTC

here is what I get:
# python
Python 2.4.2 (#1, Apr  4 2006, 20:56:28) 
[GCC 3.4.5 (Gentoo 3.4.5-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import rpm
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rpmmodule.so: undefined symbol: PyDictIter_Type
>>> 

Bug 108061 gives a patch for rpm-4.2.1. but there is no patch for 4.2.

I am going back to python 2.3
