Okay, so thanks everyone who helped, but apparently I was been noobish.
After Joel gave me the light that I was mixing different versions of
anaconda (for some reason in my head I thought since I was using the
lates dist of RHEL I have, it would be the same anaconda) I looked at
the yuminstall.py of RHEL5u2 in stage2.img and I was surprised to see
that the class that I'm complaining (DownloadHeaderProgress) does not
exist in RHEL5u2 version of anaconda, so apparently someone implemented
it already, it just hasn't been released as a new version of RHEL yet
(or it has and I don't have access to it).
I still want to know how to test a new version of anaconda with an old
dist of RHEL to test if it has been actually fixed, but apparently this
issue is past.
Sorry for not seeing this before, I'm a little new to open source
developing =(
Many thanks for all the help anyways
