It says: i just did todays updates in about 4 iterations. yum was still working for me after the glibc update. the last update i did was the openoffice stuff... all of it installed fine. and my yum still appears to work. i can install new things with it.. > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/bin/yum", line 4, in ? > import yum > File "__init__.py", line 21, in ? > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rpm/__init__.py", line 7, in ? > from _rpm import * > ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (init_rpm) from the files in your error... i suspect something wrong with the rpm-python package that you have installed on your system, but I couldn't begin to tell you what that problem is. on my system: rpm -qf /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rpm/__init__.py rpm-python-4.4.1-9 you might try to run rpm -V rpm-python and see if it outputs anything. rpm -V rpm-python returns nothing on my system, indicating the rpmdata and the filesystem match up for the files in the rpm-python package on my system. Can you start up2date from a terminal? up2date also depends on the the rpm-python modules. -jef
