I broke my yum installation, and repeated attempts to correct it have not helped. Could someone take me by the hand and walk me through fixing this, off-list if necessary? There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: No module named yum Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.4.3 (#1, Jul 26 2006, 12:55:29) [GCC 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq I have uninstalled and re-installed yum and python to no avail.
