I tried updating from yum 2.0.7 to 2.2.0 this morning on my RHL 9
system. However, it doesn't want to work. I get the

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yum", line 6, in ?
    import yummain
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 23, in ?
    import yum
ImportError: No module named yum"

reported by others. I tried a rebuild from the source RPM, to no
avail. The versions of rpm, python &c. on my system are:

rpm-4.2-0.69
yum-2.2.0-1
python-2.2.2-26
rpm-python-4.2-0.69

The sys.path under python is:

['', '/usr/lib/python2.2', '/usr/lib/python2.2/plat-linux2',
'/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages',
'/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/gtk-2.0']

Any pointers on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Stephen
