Subject: yum broken :p
Hello, I wrote almost one month ago to seek help with yum broken by updating python. I tried some of the fixes suggested in the replies, but to no avail. Then I went into vacation.
Now I'm back. I've read all the back issues of this ml (I receive it in the digest format), to see if somebody else had replied on this subject. But no one did. Obviously I was in such a hurry to close down the store that I forgot to tell those folks that "thankyouverymuch, but it was still broken" :)
Alas, I still need to have yum working (so at least I could try upgrading from RH9 to FC2 to have a newer python version :-)
To sum it up, both yums, when called upon, keep spitting this:
(from the RH9, with yum 2.0.4-1 and python 2.2.2-26: the one where I tried forcing back the former versions then the rpm --rebuilddb -vv)
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ? import yummain File "yummain.py", line 21, in ? File "clientStuff.py", line 25, in ? File "pkgaction.py", line 25, in ? File "rpmUtils.py", line 9, in ? File "urlgrabber.py", line 21, in ? File "/usr/lib/python2.2/urllib2.py", line 101, in ? import ftplib File "/usr/lib/python2.2/ftplib.py", line 68, in ? all_errors = (Error, socket.error, IOError, EOFError) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'error'
(from the RH8 upgraded to RH9, with yum 2.0.7-1 and python 2.2.3-26, where I simply removed yum, installed new yum and tried the rpm --rebuilddb -vv)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ?

all_errors = (Error, socket.error, IOError, EOFError)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'error'
I tried removing yum with rpm -e and reinstalling, I tried forcing installation of the prior python version, I tried synching yum version with python version. I tried also the rpm --rebuilddb -vv. Nope. Yum is still spitting error messages.
Anyone has ideas or pointers ? :(
I feel that somewhere, hidden or simply-not-mentioned-explicitly, there is a config file or something similar (environment variables?) that had been overlooked by me and by rpm.
