yum install
 

hello... i just installed yum using tar.gz by typing make install in FC4... now i am stuck with this:

[root@localhost ***]# yum check-updates
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 27, in ?
yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 75, in main
base.getOptionsConfig(args)
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 207, in getOptionsConfig
self.plugins.setCmdLine(opts, self.cmds)
AttributeError: DummyYumPlugins instance has no attribute 'setCmdLine'

please save me!!!!!

It is much easier to stick with installing packages when using Fedora Core 4. The package management system (i.e. RPM) is one of the distribution's strengths, and installing software from source prevents the RPM database from knowing that software is there. I would go to a place like http://rpmfind.net and search for "yum". You will find a list of "noarch" RPMs there, and just download the one for your architecture (presumably i386). Once you have it, a simple

will solve your problems.

Make sure to use Fedora Core's yum package; and not one from somewhere else.

thanks yum works now...

but i keep getting this: Metadata file does not match checksum
Trying other mirror.
