To clarify: /usr/bin/python does not exist /usr/bin/python2 exists and is an empty link to a non-existent /usr/bin/python binary. > rpm -qf /usr/bin/python will tell you which package(s) the rpm > system thinks "own" the /usr/bin/python file in the rpm sense. I know this is odd. I cannot even run a yum command on this system. Here's what I get: # ls -la /usr/bin/python ls: cannot access /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory # yum info python -bash: /usr/bin/yum: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory # yum list python -bash: /usr/bin/yum: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory # yum whatprovides python -bash: /usr/bin/yum: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory # yum install python -bash: /usr/bin/yum: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory # yum repolist all -bash: /usr/bin/yum: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory # ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/ total 16 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1962 2008-11-06 12:06 fedora-rawhide.repo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1090 2008-11-06 12:06 fedora.repo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1108 2008-11-06 12:06 fedora-updates.repo -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1181 2008-11-06 12:06 fedora-updates-testing.repo # rpm -qf /usr/bin/python error: file /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory # rpm -qf /usr/bin/python2 file /usr/bin/python2 is not owned by any package > If rpm does not return with a package name, then I'm not sure how you > get into that situation post-install.

Nothing out of the ordinary. There are some errors in /var/log anaconda.log.

I've been seeing too many odd things during the last few days that I have not seen before. I'm making a list. Maybe the download of the bad dvd was incomplete or there was data corruption in the process. ~af -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
