Re: I broke yum

Thanks Alois, I will give that a try.  Do you think it will resolve itself if I just upgrade to the latest Red Hat?  I anticipate having more compatibility issues with software if I don't upgrade so I am going to make that a priority.

thanks,
Iman

Hello,
it seems that you have seriously trashed your yum.
In order to reinstall it, you have to choose the right version (your installed python is newer than the requested one, so I guess that you tried to install a too old version of yum.

Browse to a repository for your installed version of the OS, download the found yum (it should be newer than the one you tried; maybe it helps to type
rpm -q yum
to get the proper version. Then try to install yum using rpm. If there are more unresolved dependencies, download these also and install them, by calling
rpm -U yum*.rpm <and all other packages>
until the problem is resolved.
Since you have a quite old OS installed, I would also suggest to upgrade to a newer version.

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*


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?
