Would appreciate help in solving this one. Spent a few days on this problem with no luck. Can't run yum. I think this is related to my accidental removal of site-packages. That i have tried to recover. This is my first FC post and am not sure if this output is of any use? [root@localhost rpm]# rpm -qv rpm rpm-4.4.2-32 [root@localhost rpm]# rpm -Uv python-rpm-4.0.5-1.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: rpm = 4.0.5 is needed by python-rpm-4.0.5-1.i386 python < 2.3 is needed by python-rpm-4.0.5-1.i386 librpm-4.0.4.so is needed by python-rpm-4.0.5-1.i386 librpmdb-4.0.4.so is needed by python-rpm-4.0.5-1.i386 librpmio-4.0.4.so is needed by python-rpm-4.0.5-1.i386 rpm-python is needed by (installed) yum-3.0-6.noarch rpm-python >= 4.4 is needed by (installed) smart-0.42-40.fc6.i386 [root@localhost rpm]# rpm -ivh python-rpm-4.0.5-1.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: rpm = 4.0.5 is needed by python-rpm-4.0.5-1.i386 python < 2.3 is needed by python-rpm-4.0.5-1.i386 librpm-4.0.4.so is needed by python-rpm-4.0.5-1.i386 librpmdb-4.0.4.so is needed by python-rpm-4.0.5-1.i386 librpmio-4.0.4.so is needed by python-rpm-4.0.5-1.i386 [root@localhost rpm]# rpm -qv python-rpm package python-rpm is not installed [root@localhost rpm]# yum There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: No module named rpm Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.4.4 (#6, Jan 29 2007, 08:40:46) [GCC 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-51)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq
