fc4 - python/yum issue..

[bruce]

never mind...

figured it out.. somewhat...

looks like yum, or something picked up a couple of python type apps python
(elementtree/urlgrabber) from some other redhat/FC... removing them.. and
getting the correct versions from atrpms.net.. appears to have corrected the
issue...

thanks

Subject: fc4 - python/yum issue..


hi..

i'm trying to get yum up/running..

i initially had FC3. everything was working. an attempt was made to go to
FC4. most things appeared to look ok. i quickly realized that something
screwed up, when i saw that the rpm db was not functioning. i
rebuilt/repaired that. i then realized that yum is not working... i've tried
to build from source yum 2.4.2/2.4.3 with the same error...

i have...
  There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
  required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

     No module named cElementTree

  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:
  2.4.3 (#1, Jun 13 2006, 16:41:18)
  [GCC 4.0.2 20051125 (Red Hat 4.0.2-8)]

  If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
  the yum faq at:
    http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq



my python files are...
[root at lserver5 noarch]# rpm -qa py*
  pyOpenSSL-0.6-1.p24.4.1
  pyorbit-2.0.1-1
  pyparted-1.6.9-3
  python-2.4.3-8.FC4
  python-elementtree-1.2.6-6.2.el4.rf
  pygtk2-2.4.1-fc3.1
  python-urlgrabber-2.9.7-1.2.el4.rf
  pyxf86config-0.3.19-1
  python-devel-2.4.3-8.FC4
  pygtk2-libglade-2.4.1-fc3.1
  python-sqlite-1.1.6-1


i know this can work as i have a system that was a fresh install to FC4 that
has yum/pyhton working correctyl!!

any thoughts on what should be done... should i try to completely remove
python...

this is kind of strange...

thanks
