This is not : a NEW and a OLD rpm, but two different RPM, isn't ? Why
the second include
pydoc again ? Drop pydoc from the second and the first, do a package
for pydoc, and update both with a Require pydoc.

So you can install the OLD and the NEW the way you want, installing
first the pydoc rpm if you don't have a depsolver
that do this for you (yum, smart ecc)
