Greetings;
I just followed the instructions on the legacy web page on howto setup yum to use the legacy repos.
I have some stuff built from tarballs, like bleeding edge kernels cups, gimp etc, so those got added to the exclude line.
Unforch, I forgot about the libxml2 stuffs. So, after yum had updated
several dozen packages including libxlm2, I'm back to square one with
this error:
root@coyote dlds-rpms]# yum check-update
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ?
import yummain
File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 31, in ?
import yumcomps
File "/usr/share/yum/yumcomps.py", line 4, in ?
import comps
File "/usr/share/yum/comps.py", line 5, in ?
import libxml2
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libxml2.py", line 1, in ?
import libxml2mod
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libxml2mod.so: undefined symbol: xmlNewDocPI
Obviously I'm missing a point here because historically I have had to
forceably reinstall the older versions of libxml2 here several times
before to get yum to work again.
So what is this point I'm missing?
I really would like to be able to use yum, but the constant libxml2
problems are making it impossible to use without an exclude line
that includes libxml2*.
