I installed Redhat linux 5.1 with no problems.  My problem comes when I try
to install anything that is not a portion of the actual distribution.

When I select a new source and select "Available" it seems to work fine
until about 7/8th of the way where it stops and returns the following error
message:

[root@nova /root]# Glint Graphical Package Manager -- version 2.5

Exception in Tkinter callback

  File "./glint.py", line 62, in available
    availablePackageSet = PackagePathSet(currentPackagePath)
  File "./packageset.py", line 157, in __init__
    self.setPath(path)
  File "./packageset.py", line 148, in setPath
    self.addPackage(package)
  File "./packageset.py, line 40, in addPackage
    self.packages[package.getLabel()] = package
  File "./package.py", line 138, in getLabel
    return(self.getName() + ":" + self.getVersion() + ":" +
  File "./package.py", line 116, in getName
    return self.h[rpm.RPMTAG_NAME]
AttributeError: h

Being new to linux I have absolutely no clue what to do.  If anyone has any
suggestions I really need the help.

My system is a Cyrix 686 P200+, with 32MB RAM, a 2.1 and 5.7GB Maxtor EDE
HD, and a EIDE ATAPI CD-ROM.

Thanks,
Chad Skinner
