No module named rpm centos 4 yum

Hi all,

I have some problems with my server,

I treid to install bigbrotherbot for my gameservers, only i removed a the python package, what yum is using.

I have googled all the time but no solution found.
I get this error, while using the command yum :

Code:

No module named rpm

If i do the following command:

Code:

rpm -qR yum

Ill get the following output:

Code:

/usr/bin/python

config(yum) = 3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1

python >= 2.4

python(abi) = 2.4

python-elementtree

python-iniparse

python-sqlite

rpm >= 0:4.4.2

rpm-python

rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1

rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1

urlgrabber >= 3.1.0

yum-fastestmirror

yum-metadata-parser >= 1.1.0

Rpm is installed, this is what i can see.
I have searced over this forum, but all the topics about this wont help me.

In my /bin/ folder i have a RPM file, so its on the system.
And in my /usr/lib folder i have a RPM folder with the following in it:

Code:

athlon-linux    macros          rpmdb_checkpoint  rpmdb_upgrade  rpmrc

config.guess    mkinstalldirs  rpmdb_deadlock    rpmdb_verify  rpmu

config.sub      noarch-linux    rpmdb_dump        rpme          rpmv

convertrpmrc.sh  pentium3-linux  rpmdb_load        rpmfile        rpm.xinetd

freshen.sh      pentium4-linux  rpmdb_loadcvt    rpmi          tgpg

i386-linux      rpm2cpio.sh    rpmdb_printlog    rpmk

i486-linux      rpmd            rpmdb_recover    rpm.log

i586-linux      rpm.daily      rpmdb_stat        rpmpopt-4.4.2

i686-linux      rpmdb_archive  rpmdb_svc        rpmq

Whats wrong up here.
Its a damm problem up here, i can use rpm normal without errors.

Thanks already.

well that's a python error, so it's not rpm itself it's complaining about, but the python module for it, which comes form rpm-python. try forcing a reinstallation of that rpm.

Ill get the following.

Code:

[root@g15 ~]# rpm -Uvh rpm-python-4.4.2.4-1.src.rpm

warning: rpm-python-4.4.2.4-1.src.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4ad653e1

So i added user jeff, dunno why he needs it but ok.

The it seems he install:

Code:

[root@g15 ~]# rpm -Uvh rpm-python-4.4.2.4-1.src.rpm

warning: rpm-python-4.4.2.4-1.src.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4ad653e1

  1:rpm-python

And its still not working..

Quote:

rpm-python-4.4.2.4-1.src.rpm

that is THE SOURCE CODE ONLY
install rpm-python-4.4.2.4-1.rpm

I have that file downloaden and he tell me the following:

Code:

rpm -Uvh rpm-build-4.4.2-48.el5.i386.rpm

error: Failed dependencies:

elfutils is needed by rpm-build-4.4.2-48.el5.i386

Ok, lets download elfutils.

And then ill get the following error:

Quote:

rpm -Uvh elfutils-libs-0.139-1.fc11.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

elfutils-libs > 0.125-3.el5 conflicts with elfutils-libelf-0.125-3.el5.i386

Is this a source problem, because i downloaded for fc11, or do i mis something more.

how is that the same file? you want rpm-python and you're trying to install rpm-build... huh?

also THAT FILE "elfutils-libs-0.139-1.fc11.i386.rpm" is for the TESTING/DEV fedora 11 .NOT for CentOS 5.2( current)

please install the 3d party centos repo files .and do not go blindly downloading incompatible rpm's

try this in the terminal run

yum search rpm-python

yum install rpm-python rpm-python-devel
