Fedora 9 dependency issues

I've got a dependency issue that I'm not sure how to deal with.  This is 
a Fedora 9 x86_64 system.  I'm trying to install tkinter and I'm running 
the command "sudo yum install tkinter"  yum proceeds to run, listing the 
packages that need to be included to satisfy the dependencies.  However 
it gets to:

--> Missing Dependency: python = 2.5.1-25.fc9 is needed by package 
tkinter-2.5.1-25.fc9.x86_64 (fedora)
DEBUG:
[]
Error: Missing Dependency: python = 2.5.1-25.fc9 is needed by package 
tkinter-2.5.1-25.fc9.x86_64 (fedora)



I then try to install python by itself with "sudo yum install python" 
and I get the following:

Package matching python-2.5.1-25.fc9.x86_64 already installed. Checking 
for update.
Nothing to do


So for whatever reason it appears as if tkinter is looking for the non 
x86_64 version.

How do I get around this?

TIA, Jeff
