I tracked down a createrepo rpm "for RHL 7.x, AS 2.1" etc (hosted by Dag), but it's uninstallable.
Eventually I managed to create an rpm from the source (actually, that's fairly easy when onw knows to say "python2"), but python-urlgrabber has completely defeated me.
According to Dag, the problem is that "upstream" doesn't see the need to support RHAS2.1/Centos2.1/RHL7.x amd such.
While I can, if forced, solve the problem by a personal visit to the site or by creating a repo on the other side of the Internet, there should be a better general solution.
What is it?

Seeing that 2.1 still uses yum-1.0 (and seeing that mirror.centos.org uses the old style repositories for 2.1), you should get away by using yum-arch from the yum rpm.
