[cobalt-users] Python 2.5.2/mailman

["Will Nordmeyer" <will@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to upgrade python on my RAQ3 from python-1.5.1-10 to python 2.2.

When I try installing the rpm that I downloaded from python.org, I get the
following errors.

[root@raq python]# rpm -U python2-2.1-5.i386.rpm
 error: failed dependencies:
 libcrypto.so.0.9.6 is needed by python2-2.1-5
 libdb-3.1.so is needed by python2-2.1-5
 libncurses.so.5 is needed by python2-2.1-5
 libpanel.so.5 is needed by python2-2.1-5
 libssl.so.0.9.6 is needed by python2-2.1-5

I tried installing those packages, eventually discovering that I need
glibc2.2, which I downloaded from www.rpmfind.net

When I try installing that glibc, I get this:

[root@raq glibcsrc]# rpm -U glibc-2.2.3-19.1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        glibc-common = 2.2.3-19.1 is needed by glibc-2.2.3-19.1

Can anyone help me get the latest python & mailman mailing list manager
installed?
