I recently tried to build the FreeCAD application on my Fedora 14
installation.
Somehow that process broke yum so that now, any attempt to use yum gives:
[root@mustang ~]# yum --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/bin/yum", line 4, in <module>
import yum
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 55,

in <module>
flags = {"GT": rpm.RPMSENSE_GREATER,
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'RPMSENSE_GREATER'
I have managed to upgrade to Fedora 17 using DVDs but now neither yum
nor fedup work.
The yum error is unchanged and fedup gives effectively the same error:
[root@mustang ~]# fedup --network 18
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/bin/fedup", line 25, in <module>
from fedup.download import FedupDownloader, YumBaseError

I tried rebuilding yum from source (yum-3.4.3-31.fc17.src.rpm) but with
no joy.

Stephen, Fedora 17 has been dead for almost two years. Fedora 14 has
been dead for almost five years. You're not going to find a lot of help
here. Fedora is typically on a 6-month deployment. The support matrix
defines that the current release and the immediately preceding release
will be supported (right now that'd be F20 and F19). F18 stopped being
supported about a month after F20 came out.
If you want a free OS that looks like Red Hat and has a long life, go
with CentOS as its support matrix tracks Red Hat's. Fedora is very much
a "bleeding edge" release and you will continually be chasing this sort
of issue.
