Re: Yum update corrupted something badly - can only get access through SSH terminal or Webmin

thanks for the details - As the server lives in a closet without a monitor on it or even easy access I opted for Webmin so as to have the ability to get in and work with it.

I will resubscribe and get back into a better habit - I had been checking every day a year ago, and then life got busy.

Things were fine, and I had no trouble the in January when i put a monitor on it for some other reasons - but after the hang today it now is stuck.

As my cut and past below indicates, the "yum clean all" results in a consistent set of errors - any yum command seems to return the same errors.

Regardless of how or why they were caused, the issue now is how to clear them out so that I can actually get yum to work -

[root@trailrunner yum]# yum clean all
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/yum", line 28, in ?
     import yummain
   File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 29, in ?
     import cli
   File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 30, in ?
     import output
   File "/usr/share/yum-cli/output.py", line 26, in ?
     from i18n import _
ImportError: No module named i18n
[root@trailrunner yum]#


there was an issue with the update to 5.3 in that the glibc libraries needed to be updated prior to the remainder otherwise rpm had issues - this is probably what yum is choking on
try
#>rpm -uv glibc*
after that try yum clean all and then see what happens
