I've confirmed it by a) installing your prebuilt rpm b) rebuilding on another box which has never been used for building I get the same result in both cases, for ANY yum command. It happens so early in the process that yum -d doesn't return any output.o Here is the end of an strace yum -d 9 list open("/usr/lib/python1.5/plat-linux-i386/yummain.py", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/yummain.py", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/python1.5/lib-dynload/yummain.py", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/yummain.py", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, " File \"yummain.py\", line 21, in"..., 35 File "yummain.py", line 21, in ? ) = 35 open("clientStuff.py", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/bin/clientStuff.py", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/share/yum/clientStuff.py", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/python1.5/clientStuff.py", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/python1.5/plat-linux-i386/clientStuff.py", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/clientStuff.py", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/python1.5/lib-dynload/clientStuff.py", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/clientStuff.py", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, " File \"clientStuff.py\", line 39"..., 39 File "clientStuff.py", line 39, in ? ) = 39 write(2, "AttributeError", 14AttributeError) = 14 write(2, ": ", 2: ) = 2 write(2, "set_user_agent", 14set_user_agent) = 14 write(2, "\n", 1 ) = 1 close(3) = 0 munmap(0x40018000, 4096) = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {SIG_DFL}, {0x40033b20, [INT], SA_RESTART|0x4000000}, 8) = 0 _exit(1) = ? A quick check in /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/ shows that clientStuff and keepAlive are not there. So looks like we have a missing requirement or missing package for Mike's stuff?
