I've tested successfully with 2.4.3(built from source) if you wanted to revert to an earlier version perhaps look at what you were using before it was updated. My testbed machines were updated on 10/12/06 05:30:01 Updated: python 2.2.3-6.5.i386. The versions I've got in my yum repository are Mar 14 2006 python-2.2.3-6.2.i386.rpm Feb 14 2005 python-2.2.3-6.1.i386.rpm Dec 30 2003 python-2.2.3-5.i386.rpm I would assume that the repository that you are using will have the same versions. You may want to check what has been fixed in these version and whether they have any security vulnerabilities which have been fixed in later versions and can be exploited. There have been 2 python api patches for R-GMA v5.0.9 and v5.0.8 you may find that although patch v5.0.8 wraps the assertion error in a RemoteException it exacerbates the archiver problem. Patch 5.0.9 is much more robust and should be used when it is available.
