Thanks to those who have responded to my post of several days ago. I have not worked on this problem for a while. There was a post at some point--maybe in April--that indicated there is a problem with a path in the vzyum rpm spec, which causes vzyum to look in the wrong place for python packages, etc. I have not checked Bugzilla to see if this has been entered as a bug. Seemingly, the problem exists only for x86_64 kernels, which have both a /usr/lib and a /usr/lib64. At least one person seems to have solved the problem by installing 32-bit yum rpms. To me, this is a hack, not a solution (nothing personal). I would like a complete package in which everything works as advertised (maybe this is a lot to ask for a new, evolving software collection).
In the meantime, I bypassed the problem by installing yum inside a VE and using it to bring in needed software. Now I have two CentOS and one SuSE9.3 VEs running. The brute-force approach, i.e., copying VPS kernels into the cache area and running vzctl create did the trick OK. Last week I did a split for 5 VEs, because the default basic resource allocation did not provide enough resources for a small number of VEs (I had been getting a malloc error while running CPAN to install mysql/Perl packages).
It would be nice if we had an "official" answer to our problem. If I can help anyone privately, let me know.
