redhat-config-printer dies with a python error

[Rob Tanner]

I have 6 AS3 systems, and this problem occurs on only one.  When I invoke
redhat-config-printer, I get the following error output:

[root]# redhat-config-printer-gui
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/redhat-config-printer-gui", line 7, in ?
    import queueTree
  File "/usr/share/printconf/util/queueTree.py", line 33, in ?
    import printconf_conf
  File "/usr/share/printconf/util/printconf_conf.py", line 83, in ?
    from xml.utils import qp_xml
  File
"/usr/src/build/219081-i386/install/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/_xmlplus/utils/qp_xml.py",
line 23, in ?
ImportError: cannot import name pyexpat

That /usr/src/build path is not even valid.

It ran at least once right after I did the upgrade to AS3 since I do have two
printers installed.  But now when I try to run it to add another printer, I
get the above results.

I ran up2date to make sure I was current, and even rebooted the machine to no
avail.  The systems that work have the same rpm's installed.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
