Hi, I have a Sun Cobalt Raq4 on which I have installed Strongbolt CentOS. Yum was originally installed with the OS. I had used yum to do many updates, and recently had installed three things - "yum install gcc" and installed daemontools-0.76 and freeradius-0.9.3. Now when I try to run yum update I get the following: [root@c2raq4 ~]# yum update There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: AttributeError: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 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: 2.3.4 (#1, May 2 2007, 19:26:00) [GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-8)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq [root@c2raq4 ~]# I went in to Python and did "import yum" and am getting an error for file __init__.py on line 21. [root@c2raq4 ~]# python Python 2.3.4 (#1, May 2 2007, 19:26:00) [GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-8)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import yum Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "__init__.py", line 21, in ? ImportError: AttributeError: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory >>> I checked line 21 in /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/__init__.py and it states "import rpm". I then tried to execute import rpm in python and got the same error. I tried other imports (leading upto line 21) and they worked fine. What is wrong and how can I correct this?
