I'm guessing this is also a case of using RPM with "--nodeps" or 
"--force" -- which is a bad thing to do.

If I'm wrong, I'd be interested from what repository this came from or 
what your install process was.

You possibly force installed the python-cheetah from another distro 
rather than one that was built for your distro and version of Python?
