Rob -

        Could you issue the following RPM query for each of the files
involved (i.e. php-3.0.18-8.i386.rpm vs php-3.0.18-1.6.x.i386.rpm):

        rpm -qp $filename --queryformat "%{NAME} %{EPOCH} %{VERSION}
%{RELEASE}" and send us the output?

        Also, you mentioned you're running on 7.2, but the
rpm-python-4.0.2-8 package is a 7.1 RPM; the version shipped with 7.2
was rpm-python-4.0.3-1.03.  Do you have a spare machine you can do a new
install of 7.2 on available, then up2date it through RHN, then test a
fresh install of the current-0.99.0 RPM, to see what a sanitized install
does for you?
