Hi chaps, I've been having some Yum problems. A couple of days ago I reinstalled FC, choosing FC5 because of its inbuilt driver support for my SCSI RAID array. I reinstalled yum from 2.6.1.1, the most recent stable rpm listed on the yum site. rpm flagged three dependencies, which I installed appropriately. libxml2-2.6.23-1.2 python-urlgrabber-2.9.7.1 sqlite-3.2.8-1 When I tried to run yum, I got a complex error message which is quoted in full below. As far as I can make out, yum can't pick up necessary header info. I did all the obvious things ("yum clean all" etc) and then Googled around to look for non-obvious ones. I found a lot of discussion of yum / python issues and tried reinstalling a couple of python components as suggested -- no dice. In the end I simply reinstalled yum 2.4.1, but I would like to know if anyone else has the same problems I did in running later yums. I note that the distribution comes with an old python-sqlite (python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2) for which I guess there must be a reason. Any suggestions?
