Huh.  At first I thought the problem was:

http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/python-sqlite2-2.3.3-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

Because the version that kills my yum is also 2.3.3.

However, looking again more carefully, the package above is
python-sqlite2, version 2.3.3, release 1.el5.rf, dated 2007-07-08, size
119 k.  But yum is complaining about python-sqlite, version 0:2.3.3,
release 1.el5.rf, dated 2007-03-08, size 128 k.  Clearly different
packages, but very confusingly so.

I was beginning to doubt my sanity at this point, until I finally
figured out what was wrong ...

... wait for it ...

... this was the system I had recently enabled the rpmforge-test repo
on, so I could test out your new mencoder package, and I hadn't disabled
it again afterwards.  Clearly, that python-sqlite package was an old
test that didn't go so well.  :-)

Oops.  Sorry for the false alarm!
