When I try to upgrade on my laptop, I get the following error.

[root@dumuzi swh]# apt-get dist-upgrade

E: Sub-process /bin/rpm returned an error code (41)

I get something similar on my studio PC too (both RH8).

pygtk-* does really appear to be installed:

[root@dumuzi swh]# rpm -qa | grep pygtk-
pygtk-libglade-0.6.9-3
pygtk-0.6.9-3

So I'm not sure why APT wants to install it. I've tried rpm --rebuild,
purged the apt caches and so on and it doesn't seem to have helped.
