'module' object has no attribute 'RPMSENSE_GREATER'

[Stephen Davies]

I appreciate what you say.
However, I do not believe that this issue is release dependent.

I need a way to modify what I have so that fedup etc will run and enable me to 
upgrade to F20.

There must be a way for me to add the relevant definitions of RPMSENSE_GREATER 
etc so that the yum/fedup etc python works again.

Where is RPMSENSE_xxx defined (to Python) and how do I add that definition to 
yum?

Cheers and thanks,
Stephen
