Hi Matt,
upgrading rpm-python to your version (alog with the other rpm*
packages) made it work. Thanks!

I know that it's not suggested to upgrade but I was getting stuck with
old packages all the time. It took time, but finally is (mostly)
sorted (apart from a few warnings that I'm still trying to track).

Thanks again,

   Andres
