Whats Python do?
I sure wish I knew how to fix this problem
I get this on a different box of mine when I do up2date or yum...Even if I remove Python and reinstall it I still get this message.... Whats Python for and how can I finish my updates? ---> Package python-devel.i386 0:2.3.4-13.1 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Conflict: python-devel conflicts python < 2.3.4-13.1 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: python-devel conflicts with python < 2.3.4-13.1 Fedora Core 3 P4 2.5ghz 1GB PC2700 2.6.10_760 kernel |
Python is a scripting language like Perl or Tcl. For example, Yum is written in Python. It looks like you have an older version of Python installed, and it's trying to put a newer python-devel on which is causing problems. You can confirm this using rpm -q python. The solution my be to upgrade your Python by hand, but I've never run into this on FC3.

I still get the same error.... I can't even tell if any of the Python RPMs are installed.... But do I really even need Python for normal use of FC3 ?? Does it do something that I might need later?
|
I've been dogged by this problem as well, I'm sure there is a fix... somewhere!!!
But for now I use the fix - yum --exclude=python-devel update It gets the upgrades done. |
