I'm getting that exact error on a Fit-PC machine (AMD Geode of similar
spec to the OLPC) that's running Fedora 10. I went to upgrade it on
the weekend to F11 beta. As part of the yum upgrade I did a "yum
upgrade rpm yum" which of course pulled in python. The geode is
capable of cmov so it has a i686 glibc installed (but it complains
about the arch) so rather than installing the i386 F10 glibc so it
would go smoothly I used rpm to install the F11 i586 glibc package.
Everything runs fine but I get the same errors with rpm so its stuck
in that state at the moment. I went to do a clean install of F11 but X
fell over (which worked on F10 install) so I haven't bothered to go
any further if you want me to run some tests.
