I ran into it a little while back when trying to upgrade a box that had too little disk space to do it all at once. Turns out that somewhere in the RPM/yum stack there's an SELinux dependency that shows up at runtime. I don't really know what's going on, but at least for me it went away after updating libselinux. (Of course, since both yum and up2date use the rpm Python bindings and a simple "import rpm" in yum is what dies, well, they're both hosed at the moment so you'll have to download and 'rpm -Uvh' that package manually.) Turns out we're not the only ones to hit this, it's in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=144446 Good luck, Per -- Per Bjornsson <perbj@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Applied Physics, Stanford University
