Now this is getting downright ridiculous (as follows):
[root@fast rpm]# rpm -i python-devel-1.5.2-13.i386.rpm
python-1.5.2-13.i386.rpm tkinter-1.5.2-13.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
tkinter < 1.5.2 conflicts with python-1.5.2-13
[root@fast rpm]# rpm -i --nodeps python-devel-1.5.2-13.i386.rpm
python-1.5.2-13.i386.rpm tkinter-1.5.2-13.i386.rpm
error: file /usr/include/python1.5/Python.h from install of
python-devel-1.5.2-13 conflicts with file from package python-devel-1.5.1-10
---------hundreds of error messages snipped-------
[root@fast rpm]#
