Yum not working on Fedora 8 - 64 bit
Hi,
Yum was working fine earlier, but i don't know, when the problem occured. Recently when i tried to install some apps through yum, i was not able to. Then i tried to update yum, but i got the same error which i got when tried to install apps, as mentioned below: #yum update Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in <module> import yummain File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 22, in <module> import clientStuff File "/usr/share/yum/clientStuff.py", line 18, in <module> import rpm ImportError: No module named rpm Whichever command issued with yum, above mentioned is the only error i get. Would be really greateful, if someone directs me in right path to get rid of this issue and start working yum as before. Regards, Prabagaran L. |
try running up2date or update your yum package and try again. Try these two options, possibly the issue would resolve.

yum WAS NOT working fine on fedora 8
almost all of the 8 repos mirrors are dead and the repo was moved to the historical archives last year Quote:
update & yum will not have worked for the last two years Quote:
yum IS 100% dead on 8 the only fix is to install a supported version of fedora the current is fedora 14 you are 6 versions OUT OF DATE |

So, I think there would be a way to resolve the reported issue, which i don't know :( |
I agree with John VV statement. :)
Prabagaran For what purpose you are updating Fedora 8, running any Apps/its a production box ? |
Hi prodev05,
I am not at all trying to update my operating system, as it is a production server. But, i need a solution to fix the issue which i have with YUM, in the Fedora 8 box. |
Great. Then this won't work. Probably you have to check the technical notes (for bugs solved/open bugs), then start work on the issue. If the issue is related to production, pl upgrade the OS to your latest. Else deploy a new box. :)

up2date in NOT USED !!!! Quote:
the fedora 8 repos have been dead for 2 years most have been removed from the mirrors http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/pub...Fedora/8/i386/ there are only 8 still listed and you would have had to manually edit the yum repo mirror list to use them and the main was moved to the .archives. historical archives there has been NO NEW RPMS added to the fedora 8 repo in two 2 years how can it "still be working" !!!!!! Quote:
why was fedora 8 even installed in Nov.2007 the life for fedora is only 13 months that means that fedora 10 SHOULD have been installed before Dec. 2008 Using fedora, was and never has been , recommended for a server AND NEVER NEVER recommended for a production server!!! at this point i would VERY SERIOUSLY !!!! think about installing CentOS 5.5 or RHEL 6.0 |
