printconf broken on x86_64 test 1

On a freshly installed 0.96 x86_64 box, printconf-gui hangs trying to
initialize the printing database when adding a queue.  So, I launch
printconf-tui and it breaks with the following error message.  Looks
like it's looking in a build directory for a python file when it
shouldn't be.

rebuilding the redhat-config-printer package from source didn't
help.  I grabbed the redhat-config-printer-0.6.79.5-1 src rpm as
well, no change when rebuilding.  It might be a problem with the
PyXML package in that case, I guess.

Any ideas?
