Happy New Year.. > Hi Seth Vidal, I have eventually resolved the problem and yum is working once again. Solution was very laborious, I had to download from the Centos repo: expat-devel db4-devel gdbm-devel elfutils-devel krb5-devel libselinux-devel neon neon-devel sqlite-devel zlib-devel openssl-devel .....and install At Atrpms.net downloaded all the rpm-4.4.2 files and pythonabi. After installing all files librpmbuild-4.4.so was re-installed on the server and yum is again functional. Python 2.5 I had to manually uninstall. Again thank you for all the help and guidance. _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
