'module' object has no attribute 'RPMSENSE_GREATER'

[Stephen Davies]

The /usr/local/bin version of python came from my manually building and 
installing Python 2.7.6 as part of my attempts to build FreeCAD.

If I hide all of the /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib Python components, the 
original is unable to find modules - even if I set PYTHONPATH and PYTHONHOME.

Among other things, this breaks my Apache httpd setup.

Reverting to the /usr/local versions gets everything except yum working.

I then attempted to folow your suggestion re reinstalling rpm.

Unfortunately, that fails due to dependencies.

After some 22 years playing with (and contributing to) Linux, I should know 
rpm better - but I don't know how to safely overcome the following:

[root at mustang downloads]# rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs rpm-4.9.1.3-8.fc17.x86_64.rpm 
warning: rpm-4.9.1.3-8.fc17.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID

Cheers and thanks,
Stephen
