Red Hat Package Tool Broken: Here's The Trace

[John P Verel]

Red Hat Package Configurator fails on my machine.  See X-Mailer above
for system info.  I get the following trace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/MainWindow.py", line 163, in ?
    comps = im.readCompsViaMethod(hdlist, progress.update)
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/method.py", line 488, in
readCompsViaMethod
    update_method = update_method)
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/comps.py", line 387, in
__init__
    self.readCompsFile(file, self.packages)
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/comps.py", line 471, in

    self.setupStateDicts(packages)
  File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/comps.py", line 420, in
setupStateDicts
    for prov in h[rpm.RPMTAG_PROVIDES]:
TypeError: iteration over non-sequence

What's broke??

TIA
