This is one of the peculiarities of RPM. RPM source archives are unpacked with the same commands that would install a binary RPM -- but nothing is actually installed into the RPM database. The source files are just put in your RPM source area (which will differ depending on your distribution). But basically the answer is: you want the binary ("noarch", in the case of yum) RPM, which you can either download or rebuild from the sources you just unpacked. > > > > The version of Yum I had on was not compatable with the version of Python(2.5) that was installed during an update.
