yum command not working in Fedora !
 

When I try to update software packages in my Fedora workstation I run this command

yum update

and I get this error message :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 57, in <module>
from dnf.cli import main
ImportError: No module named 'dnf'

What's wrong ?

that means - in general - dnf is not installed, so you need to [re]install it.
But dnf is used to be installed, so I think something went wrong on your linux.

How can I fix it ? Any idea ?

yes, look for the official documentation: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF?rd=Dnf

Fedora 27 :

The update command is not really # yum update
... but # dnf update

when I run dnf update I got this error message :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/dnf", line 57, in <module>
from dnf.cli import main
ImportError: No module named 'dnf'

Related to your other thread: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ow-4175632664/

You updated/moved/bothered python, so now things that depend on python aren't working. Since you don't say what you did, we can't tell you how to undo it.

Thanks for the reply.Let me give you an idea what I did. I will give all the history here :

Seriously???? We don't need to see everything you've done; when asked about python, post what is RELATED TO PYTHON. Seems you re-installed things, and installed the yum command, although its deprecated, and did a re-install of python3. Open up the dnf command and look at the first line...chances are it's not going to the right python program. You've obviously got yum-deprecated working, and have re-installed python3. And how about telling us what the RESULTS of the reinstall command were?

This is what I get :

rpm -qa | egrep "^python3" | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/ /g' | xargs sudo yum-deprecated reinstall -y

File "/bin/yum-deprecated", line 36
except KeyboardInterrupt, e:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

So you didn't think that posting the fact that your re-install command DID NOT WORK was relevant??? Run rpm -qa | egrep python, and find out the package names that you have. Download them from a repository, and manually install them with the RPM command.

When I run this command : rpm -qa | egrep python

I got this message :

python3-cairo-1.15.3-1.fc27.x86_64
python2-idna-2.5-2.fc27.noarch
python3-inotify-0.9.6-9.fc27.noarch
python-xpyb-1.3.1-9.fc27.x86_64
python-mako-1.0.6-4.fc27.noarch
python2-gobject-3.26.1-1.fc27.x86_64

python3-crypto-2.6.1-22.fc27.x86_64
python3-colorama-0.3.7-6.fc27.noarch

Where Python part is in orange colour. So does it mean they are not installed in the system ? right ? Now if I wish to install

python3-cairo-1.15.3-1.fc27.x86_64 with rpm command how can I do that ?

....except you didn't post anything here in a different color, did you?
Wrong. Read the man page on the rpm command, and look at what those options do.
You read the man page on the rpm command, and look at the options. Try putting "how to install an rpm package in linux using rpm" into Google. Sorry, but there's only so much homework I'll help with. Good luck

I have a feeling that you are angry with me Sorry if i heart you by any way

You show little to no effort in any of your posts. You don't show that you've done any research, you don't post details, and we have to continually prod you to get you to provide things (as in the command RESULTS in this very thread). You have done this in all of your other threads, and continue to do it, despite being asked not to.

So tell me why we shouldn't get frustrated at this behavior?
