Hi,
I was updating my machine, and successfully ran "yum update"
now after this i installed the rpmforge repo following:
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalRes...ories/RPMForge
after that i ran "yum update" once more,a nd it found a few files.
Now after this when i tried yum i got the following error:
Code:
# yum
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
No module named cElementTree
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:
2.4.3 (#1, Jul 27 2009, 17:57:39)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44)]
If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq
i couldnt figure out why, so i checked the latest rpm packages that were installed:
Code:
# rpm -qa --last

i get this
