After I updated my RH 9 system to Fedore Core 1, I get # yum update Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ? import yummain File "yummain.py", line 21, in ? File "clientStuff.py", line 25, in ? File "pkgaction.py", line 25, in ? File "rpmUtils.py", line 9, in ? File "urlgrabber.py", line 21, in ? File "/usr/lib/python2.2/urllib2.py", line 101, in ? import ftplib File "/usr/lib/python2.2/ftplib.py", line 68, in ? all_errors = (Error, socket.error, IOError, EOFError) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'error' I have found that if I revert back to RH 9's (updated) openssl, all is well, so now I have # grep openssl /etc/yum.conf exclude=openssl* Is there a better solution?
