You and I seem to be tracking each other fairly closely in terms of the bugs
we run into :)  Just yesterday I posted this exact same message to the numpy
list.  The end of the traceback there was:

"/usr/src/build/394694-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.3/distutils/command/bdist_rpm.py",

line 316, in run
AssertionError: unexpected number of RPM files found:
['build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/RPMS/i386/Numeric-23.1-1.i386.rpm',
'build/bdist.linux-i686/rpm/RPMS/i386/Numeric-debuginfo-23.1-1.i386.rpm']

The good thing is that the rpms DO get built, so you can just fish them out
by hand from this path and use them.  It might be worth filing a distutils
bug on SF about this one.

Cheers,
