Since this is still happening, and is a FAQ but is not addressed on the Yum FAQ page, I would be interested if anyone has a script which examines current settings to determine *why* in any instance this error can still occur. >From much searching it looks as if it's a broken/inconsistent Python installation, but Python itself does not appear to provide the means to diagnose or fix this. (FWIW I think it should !) It's not sufficient (as many of the "answers" suggest) to reinstall from source or from RPM - or from Synaptic. This does not seem to fix whatever it is that is out of alignment, since I have reinstalled Python, pygtk and yum from source without any improvement. I would be very grateful if the yum shell script would be able to take a more proactive approach to finding out what it needed and what was missing - maybe looking in both /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib for example, or finding multiple Python installations and behaving in a sensible way. (I once used a LAMP-package installer which did a very good job of telling you which bits were working and what seemed incorrect) I realise that if everything is set up correctly, "things just work" but especially if you are installing packages and upgrades, that might not be the actual situation.
