In addition to being a differnet version, the FC4 python RPM is built on
"decompose.build.redhat.com", not "tweety.build.redhat.com".  It is also
signed with a different key.  This is not a FC4 python RPM.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ES, not Fedora Core 4.

Actually because my command was wrong, FC4 doesn't find anything.  The
command should be "rpm -q --whatprovides redhat-release".  On a FC4 system
it is provided by "fedora-release-4-2".
