I was wondering if someone could help me.
I was trying to install git on a redhat box, and I broke yum some how. I’ve been trying to fix yum for many days to no avail, and I was wondering if you could give me some tips.
Here is basically what I am looking at
[root@n ~]# yum install git
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
No module named yum
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:
2.4.4 (#1, Nov 8 2007, 22:06:01)
[GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)]
If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq
[root@n ~]# which python
/usr/bin/python
[root@n ~]# ls /usr/bin/* | grep python
/usr/bin/python
/usr/bin/python2
/usr/bin/python2.4
[root@n ~]# python -V
Python 2.4.4
[root@n ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 4)
[root@n ~]# uname -a
Linux n.sites.net 2.6.18-028stab056 #1 SMP Mon Nov 2 13:19:07 UTC 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I have tried to use rpm to re-install yum like this:
[root@n ~]# sudo rpm -Uvh http://dl.atrpms.net/all/yum-3.2.22-4.el4.noarch.rpm --replacefiles
Retrieving http://dl.atrpms.net/all/yum-3.2.22-4.el4.noarch.rpm
warning: only V3 signatures can be verified, skipping V4 signature
error: Failed dependencies:
/usr/bin/python2.3 is needed by yum-3.2.22-4.el4.noarch
pygpgme is needed by yum-3.2.22-4.el4.noarch
python(abi) = 2.3 is needed by yum-3.2.22-4.el4.noarch
python-iniparse is needed by yum-3.2.22-4.el4.noarch
rpm >= 0:4.4.2 is needed by yum-3.2.22-4.el4.noarch
yum-metadata-parser >= 1.1.0 is needed by yum-3.2.22-4.el4.noarch
I think perhaps yum is being installed to work with python 2.3 which I don’t even have (I have 3 separate versions for 2.4.4)
This also leads me to believe I have yum:
[root@n ~]# sudo find / -mount -name yum -type f -ls
3433201 4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1036 Aug 28 2007 /etc/rc.d/init.d/yum
3433147 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 89 Aug 28 2007 /etc/logrotate.d/yum
3557795 4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 779 Aug 28 2007 /usr/bin/yum
[root@n ~]# rpm -qa | grep yum
yum-2.4.3-0.5.el4
Any thoughts?
