There are two ways to do that (that I know of): 1) The simplest is to delete /usr/share/yum/httplib.py*. yum will accept the lack of a file and will run without it, thus avoiding the error. 2) The best route (I believe) is to get the current version. I built from a daily snapshot about a week ago and have version 2.0.4. According to a comment I put in /etc/yum.conf, I have http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/daily/2.0/yum-20031205.tar.gz. As that's several weeks old, I'm sure there's a newer version available. Good luck. David
