Hi, though I know it clearly states 2.4.3 is compatible with python > 2.3 I thought I give it a try; somebody seems to have tried already: https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/yum/2006-March/008425.html I'm running into problems with yum-shell: Setting up Yum Shell > update Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 97, in main result, resultmsgs = do() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 444, in doShell yumshell.cmdloop() File "/usr/lib/python2.2/cmd.py", line 123, in cmdloop stop = self.onecmd(line) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/cmd.py", line 199, in onecmd return self.default(line) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/shell.py", line 64, in default self.base.cmds = shlex.split(self.base.cmdstring) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'split' Probably this is because of python 2.2. Is there a workaround (small patch?) for this? Reason is, yum 2.2.2 does not like to update some packages: # yum list mc Setting up Repos ... Reading repository metadata in from local files ... Installed Packages mc.i686 1:4.6.0-18 installed Available Packages mc.i386 1:4.6.1-1 xxx yum 2.4.3 updates mc, while yum 2.2.2 does not... Thx Rainer
