I just updated from CentOS4.4 to CentOS4.5, and it appears that the sole
purpose of the new Python RPM was to add a chronically buggy patch that
completely breaks os.path.realpath(), which consequently causes by
hard-linked backups never to hardlink, because I'm pointing the
- --hard-link rsync option at the wrong path:-(

So, can I simply grab the CentOS4.4 RPM and install this with "rpm -Uvh
python-oldversion.rpm", then exclude the python package in yum.conf, so
it gets pinned? If not, how do I back out RPM updates?
