Thanks Kevin......

In the order you listed the rpms, the yum failed needing pygpgme....  So 
I tried installing them t'other way around:

[root at localhost ~]# rpm -ivh 
http://mirrors.tummy.com/pub/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/i386/os//Packages/pygpgme-0.1-8.fc9.i386.rpm 
http://mirrors.tummy.com/pub/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/i386/os//Packages/python-iniparse-0.2.3-3.fc9.noarch.rpm

error: Failed dependencies:
    libgpgme.so.11 is needed by pygpgme-0.1-8.fc9.i386
    libgpgme.so.11(GPGME_1.0) is needed by pygpgme-0.1-8.fc9.i386
[root at localhost ~]#

Any idea where the so.11 files might be??  (or how with my limited 
knowledge of the remnants of my system, I should go about finding the 
deps??))

Thanks again

Dave
