Actually, it's saying that some sub-object of (name, arch) is a list. In order to check if rpmdbdict has that key, it needs to get that item's hash. For container types, this is usually done be recursively calculating the hashes of sub-objects and combining them somehow (xor, for example). I'm still surprised that there would be a significant language difference between platforms. I'm betting this is something subtle. Maybe something gets built up as a list and then gets tuple-ized, except it's not getting tuple-ized here? -Michael -- Michael D.
