My head is spinning so much, I'm not sure anymore what I did, but I believe that I created from source rpms and then installed yum-3.0.4-1.noarch.rpm and yumupdatesd-3.0.4-1.noarch.rpm. Then, when I ran yum, I got the following output: [leslie@localhost ~]$ /usr/bin/yum Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 28, in ? import yummain File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 24, in ? from yum import plugins ImportError: cannot import name plugins [leslie@localhost ~]$ All of this is quite beyond me, but I did look at the FAQ and Google for the ImportError. The latter took me to one thread on this list, but it petered out without any resolution. I'd be very grateful if anyone could explain to me how I go about trying to overcome the error.
