So I gathered. I tried re-installing python 1.5.2, but now get a new
sort of error message:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 17, in ?
    from up2date_client import rpcServer
  File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rpcServer.py", line 4, in ?
    import cgiwrap
  File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/cgiwrap.py", line 177, in ?
    class myHTTPS(httplib.HTTPS):
AttributeError: HTTPS

Sigh....pain in the gluteal tissue.
