> I've forgotten why are you combining rpm 4.2.3 and yum 2.0.8? Those are the versions in the default locations /usr/bin/yum and /bin/rpm which are fully installed and in use by our sys admin to do system type installs across the network. However, it does use /usr/bin/python which is v 2.2 and which *should* be excluded by python 2.1+ (right?) but that is what our system guys are using. All the code seems to ldd correctly. I think rpm config files explain the two rpm dbs of /var/lib/rpm and /usr/lib/rpmdb/x86_64-redhat-linux/redhat. _dbpath is set to %{_var}/lib/rpm and _solve_dbpath is set to /usr/lib/rpmdb/x86_64-redhat-linux/redhat. Seems odd to me. Thanks _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
