CentOS - Jun 2006 - yum and python. grief and grief. CentOS 4.3

Hello.

Maybe after work with FreeBSD I become too spoilt, but I expect that
packages from one distribution kit works among themselves well. But
that I see:

$ rpm -qa | grep rpm

rpm-libs-4.3.13_nonptl
rpm-python-4.3.13_nonptl
rpm-4.3.13_nonptl
rpm-build-4.3.13_nonptl

$python
>>> import rpm
ImportError /usr/lib/librpm-4.3.so: undefined symbol: rpm_execcon

Thanks.

this works for me just fine.

did you install anything from source / third party repo  that might have
caused this issue ?

what arch is this ?

can you rpm -V the rpm packages ? is selinux enforcing ?

Seems I've got the same versions you do. Couple additional packages,
but nothing major.
[jperrin at www ~]$ rpm -qa | grep rpm
rpm-libs-4.3.3-13_nonptl
rpm-build-4.3.3-13_nonptl
rpm-python-4.3.3-13_nonptl
rpmdb-CentOS-4.3-0.20060314
redhat-rpm-config-8.0.32.1-1
rpm-4.3.3-13_nonptl
rpm-devel-4.3.3-13_nonptl

Yep. That's an error alright. However it works fine here.

[jperrin at www ~]$ python
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Mar 10 2006, 06:12:09)
[GCC 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or
"license" for more information.
>>> import rpm
>>>
>>>

Now call me  suspicious, but your python does not identify itself, and
you don't seem to list the python version. Did you upgrade python?
