OK, this looks very familiar (python + socket.py + openssl). Try searching the net, and specifically this list (think google and site:) for answers. People have run into this problem before. At this point, though, it's clear that it's not a yum problem. socket is an extremely standard package and no application that uses will function correctly. It's probably a badly-built rpm of something (as you say). -Michael -- Michael D. Stenner mstenner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ECE Department, the University of Arizona 520-626-1619 1230 E.
