Hi Team,

I am having an issue with my Redhat 6 , I removed openldap package by mistakenly with rpm with --nodeps as option and from that time i am unable to install any package. It would be very great if anyone help me out of this issue.
Error Details:
--------------
# yum install samba*
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

libldap-2.4.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

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:
2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 12 2011, 14:03:14)
[GCC 4.4.5 20110214 (Red Hat 4.4.5-6)]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:

Hi Spaier,

I even tried to update rpm from CD but unable to ..

Why not use rpm? From the man page I assume that something like rpm -i --nodeps --force <package> would work. Or see here.

only use rpm as a LAST resort if yum is busted

yum was built to SOLVE the issues rpm causes

as with everything they are exceptions
but a base system program is NOT one of them
use yum to reinstall "ldap" -- period!!!
get the correct name with a search
then reinstall it using the name in the above list



did you REPLACE the DEFAULT!!!!!!! python????????

-- you can not do that
it will FUBAR the system


you will need to MANUALLY replace ( using copy/paste ) from the extracted RHEL python rpm

basically you are "up BLEEPED's" creek with out a paddle "


contact redhat tech support and they can talk you through that
you WILL!!! need the REQUIRED redhat support contract that YOU BOUGHT TO FIX THIS

-- there are no real "if's and's or but's"
you will need that support contract !!!
the standard one year contract is i think $799 PER YEAR for a server ( might have a $399/year)
