I think it's at least somewhat related :)
I believe it has something to do with incompabilities between rpm 4.0.2
(as installed with Nautilus previews) and rpm 4.0 (as shipped with Red
Hat 7). up2date (the Red Hat update agent) crashes with a Python (not
Perl) error when used on a system with rpm 4.0.2, but I don't know if
there's anything to do about it (except waiting for a new up2date
release).
