So I did the following replacement in fetchmail. You will not see the problem anymore when installing fetchmail. - python_mod_optimize /usr/$(get_libdir)/python${PYVER}/site-packages + python_mod_optimize /usr/$(get_libdir)/python${PYVER}/site-packages/fetchmailconf.py To *fix* your problem, you should fix: /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/mx/TextTools/TextTools.py /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/virtconv/diskcfg.py BTW: I have app-emulation/virtinst-0.500.0 installed and no problems with virtconv/diskcfg.py
