I solved the problem by installing python.
python-2.4.3-9.FC5.i386.rpm

I'm running fedora core 5 x86_64. The system was stable, but I
hadn't done an update for a while so I decided to run an update and
my system crashed about midway through the upgrade. Unfortunately,
now I'm having major problems with yum not working at all. For
example, when I type yum, I get:
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
dynamic module does not define init function (inittime)
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, Jun 13 2006, 11:46:08)
[GCC 4.1.1 20060525 (Red Hat 4.1.1-1)]
If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:

I've checked python and it's definitely a problem with importing
the time module
python
>>> import yum
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 26,
in ?
import time
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (inittime)
I've also performed: rpmbuild --rebuild yum-2.6.1-0.fc5.src.rpm
I have the following versions of rpm, yum, and python currently on
my machine.
RPM version 4.4.2
yum-2.6.1-0.fc5
python 2.4.3
I've looked around the web, but none of the other suggestions
helped. Has anyone else had this problem and solved it?
Thanks,
-Brian
