Correct. When I installed yum on both boxes it worked fine. It worked even  
through updating a RH8 box to RH9. Then the need to update python for  
installing mailman came up. And it is this python upgrade that broke yum.

Thank you for the pointer. I'll let you know what comes out of it.

In the meanwhile, it wouldn't be a bad idea to add a warning about this on  
the pages related to using/installing yum. :-)

Thanks again :)
