So python-devel depends on python being at the same level. And you've
got an old version of python-devel.

These just want *one* version of python-devel to be installed.

I'd imagine that you've had yum crash on you while you've been updating
python. The packaging system *shouldn't* allow both packages to be
installed at the same time, but it will be inconsistent while doing
updates.

In this case, the easiest thing would simply be to uninstall the -devel
packages and re-install later. Or you could manually download
python-devel-2.4.4-1.fc6,
rpm -e --nodeps python-devel-2.4.3-18.fc6.i386
rpm -e python-2.4.3-18.fc6
rpm -i python-devel-2.4.4-1.fc6.i386.rpm

The newer python-devel package should satisfy the dependencies you broke
with nodeps. You shouldn't normally be allowed to have both versions of
python-devel installed at the same time, and yum won't (normally) let
you, so you do have to use both rpm and --nodeps

Hope this helps,

James.
