I don't know Mandriva's packaging, but I'm guessing python-twisted-2.5.0
is actually just Twisted Core 2.5.0 (otherwise there'd be no point to
installing python-twisted-mail-0.3.0 as well).  However, Twisted Core 2.5.0
and Twisted Mail 0.3.0 are not compatible.  You either need Twisted Mail
0.4.0 or Twisted Core 2.4.0.  It seems like a bug (which could only have
gotten by with zero testing, but that seems to be the standard for distro
packages :/) in the Mandriva packaging that this combination is even allowed.
