Strang Yum error

Hai folks

#su root yum install vlc

/usr/bin/yum: line 2: import: command not found
/usr/bin/yum: line 3: try:: command not found
/usr/bin/yum: line 4: import: command not found
/usr/bin/yum: line 5: except: command not found
/usr/bin/yum: yum: line 23: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/usr/bin/yum: yum: line 23: `""" % (sys.exc_value, sys.version)'

what is the issue?

Seems to me you are already root, at least according to the shell prompt -> #

Try running:

Code:

yum install vlc

If you are not root and the shell prompt is a $ sign, then try...

Code:

sudo yum install vlc

or go to root..

Code:

su - root

and as root run:

Code:

yum install vlc

works charm!!!

* but yum repos seems to have some issue.

Code:

yum install vlc
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: centosc6.centos.org
 * extras: centosc6.centos.org
 * updates: centosi3.centos.org
Setting up Install Process
No package vlc available.
Error: Nothing to do

Kind of odd, since you asked not long ago how to REMOVE VLC:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...os-4175498089/

...after saying you had just installed it. If you installed it before, why can't you install it again? And a quick look at Google for "how to install vlc on centos" leads you to:
http://www.sysads.co.uk/2014/02/inst...entosrhel-6-5/

...step by step directions, with pictures.

...and what's your point?? If you had previously installed VLC, then you obviously already know how to install it again. Do the same thing as before...not sure why you're confused, or what you're confused about.
