Hi, This list recently helped me get yum going after problems on a local machine. Now I have rented a dedicated server which came with Fed1 and after I tried to upgrade to Fed3 using the same trick: fedora-release-3-8.i386.rpm yum-2.1.11-3.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh --nodeps fedora-release* yum* It got in a real muddle. That worked, so I did yum update and it broke even the yum command! This is what I get now: [root@wpc2237 RPMS]# yum Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ? import yummain File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 22, in ? import clientStuff File "/usr/share/yum/clientStuff.py", line 18, in ? import rpm ImportError: No module named rpm And up2date gives the same (I tried that in case it could fix yum and get me going again). If its relevant, although I am remote I have copied the first 2 Fedora3 CDs to the machine. In other words, if need be I can CD to their RPMS dir and rpm -U whatever is needed. Its that "whatever" part I'm having a hard time with :-( Thanks in advance...
