Yum giving ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve repeatedly

ajaygoeslinux · 05-04-2009, 04:02 PM

I had to reinstall my CentOS OS to completely uninstall my control panel and prepare for new installs. I had CentOS 5.2 minimal available and intend to upgrade to CentOS 5.3-i386 by trying to install vim-minimal to get my bash shell to run as an editor.

But am having trouble getting yum to cooperate. If I run "yum install" or "yum update", I get the following, repeatedly:

Please help. This is truly annoying and frustrating. Thank you.

In my move away from proprietary CP not configured for my needs and over which I have little control, I'm uninstalling them from my servers. On one of my VPS, I reinstalled the OS, CentOS 5.2 and am trying to prepare for an upgrade to CentOS 5.3 (and installs of new mailserver, webserver, CP and DNS server) by doing the required software updates on the server. However, I keep getting nearly the exact same error, outputting the exact same files: "ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:". In the example below, I'm trying to install "vim-minimal" for bash since I'm having bash problems, too:

-bash-3.2# yum install vim-minimal

-bash-3.2#

This will happen whether I do "yum install" or "yum update". Never having had this experience before, I don't know what to do.

I've already tried uninstalling some things, rebooting the VPS, powering the VPS down and up and reinstalling the OS. Nothing works.

Since I can't run "vi" or "locate" without getting "command not recognized" by bash, I can't use files to ferret out the issue either.

Any solutions-oriented ideas?

Thanks.

Is this an effective continuation of http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ocate-723678/?

If so, my best guess is that your installation has gone seriously screwy, and I'd probably be contemplating starting afresh. Did you check the media when you installed and was it OK?

Have you tried either of the other vim packages - vim-common and vim-enhanced?

Malachite · 05-05-2009, 07:58 PM

When you stated "I had to reinstall my CentOS OS to completely uninstall my control panel and prepare for new installs." exactly how did you do this? Was this a clean install that erased old data or did you try to use the upgrade option?

One option you could try is to run "yum clean all" just to make sure no corrupted data is stored in /var/spool/up2date or /var/cache/yum

If it was a fresh install then how did you select the packages? Default or more of an @base minimal install?

I've merged two related threads.

Thank you for you input. Yes, I believe so, too. I did try two reinstalls before posting to this forum and a "fix corrupted VPS" since, all from the HyperVM panel that's part of my VPS package. After the first two rebuilds, I've I was able to rebuild the yum package each time as with "yum update yum" but got the error in my initial post when attemtping to run "yum check-update" or "yum update". After the restoration, I tried to run "yum update yum" and got:

File "/usr/bin/yum", line 28, in ?
import yummain
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 29, in ?
from yum import _
ImportError: cannot import name _

I recognize this as a python error, so, since I can't use "vi" or "vim" (it's missing and because I can't run yum or any other install program, I can't install it), I run "cat /usr/bin/yum" and get:

#!/usr/bin/python

try:

I tried to download and instal the latest version of python but can't untar it because I'm getting "tar: command not found".

Therefore, I'm going to copy both of my posts here to a support ticket to my VPS provider and have them deal with the issue since I'm convinced now, having reinstalled another of my VPS from a different provider for the same reason and having successfully used yum to update, etc., that this is an issue on their end.
