If you really must upgrade, consider using the packages from http://www.python.org/pyvault/ instead of however you installed it. As I recall, you can use this to update to the latest version of yum. Also, the rpms on the yum site are built against specific versions of python. If you've deviated from that (you have) it's not going to work. The .src.rpm isn't something you use yum to install. it's a package containing the yum source code. You have to build it to make it work, Information on doing this can be found here -> http://rpm.org/hintskinks/buildtree/ Given what I've seen here. I'd recommend sticking with the pyvault option at least until you're comfortable with what you're doing. -- Jim Perrin System Architect - UIT Ft Gordon & US Army Signal Center
