Hi Kevin, Thanks for the kind words on yum. Yah, so, rpm 3.0.6 and yum are NOT going to play nicely. You'll want a newer version of rpm and make sure you compile and install the python modules for python 2.2 That _could_ work - but moving to a newer rpm isn't trivial, though. wish I could be more help than that. good luck -sv On Sat, 2003-06-14 at 00:48, Kevin Brouelette wrote: > Hello, > > I have been smoothly running a Yum server on RH 7.3 for a few months and > now have a need to change over to a Suse 8.2 server.
