Actually, I did do a yum clean all before the conversion (should have mentioned that in the notes). My hunch was that, because the "Resolving dependencies" stage took awhile, some data structure was growing too large and exposing a flaw in python or one of the libraries. >> To solve this, I first tried upgrading python from python-2.2.2-26 to >> python-2.2.3-26, using an RPM downloaded from www.python.org.

From http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.2.3/rpms/ : "These RPMs are built from Red Hat's SRPM, not the python.org tar-file.
