broken yum - "No module named yum"
After installing python-posd my yum stopped working. Every time I try to use it I get this message:
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix> Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>] 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: No module named yum 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: 2.4.2 (#1, Mar 4 2006, 13:45:50) [GCC 3.3.6 (PLD Linux)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: I've uninstalled the python package and uninstalled and reinstalled yum via rpm but nothing seems to work. Beyond that, I have no idea what to do. OS: Fedora Core 5 Kernel: 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp Any help would be appreciated, -Shihab Alain |
it'll most likely be down to version numbers and such. I'm not too familiar with the versioning heirarchy that python uses, but i've been bitten with a yum version needing python 2.3 but i had python 2.4 installed. each version has it's own directory tree, so the files are not found. if you do an "rpm -ql yum" you'll see where the files are actually going, and how that relates to the version of python you have. at worst you should be able to force a reinstall of python and yum from the fedora core os (both of cd or both off an online repo) and you shoudl be ok.
