For starters, don't lie to rpm. If you don't want python-1.5.2, do an rpm -e
on the package. Then, I would probably do a soft link from wherever you
installed your new version of python to /usr/bin, or else you'll have to
change all your shell scripts.
Alternatively, if you're running a recent Red Hat release, grab the rawhide
rpm package from Red Hat and update from it using rpm -Fvh. That way every-
body should be happy...
