Greetings all; Partial duplicate post since no one commented on the
first post in about 6 hours.
yum seems to have self-destructed with its last update run a couple of
days ago. It was working fine till after that, but now I have at
least 2 programs that don't run/compile. Yum doesn't run, returning
this error:
[root@coyote /]# yum update
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ?
import yummain
File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 31, in ?
import yumcomps
File "/usr/share/yum/yumcomps.py", line 4, in ?
import comps
File "/usr/share/yum/comps.py", line 5, in ?

import libxml2mod
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libxml2mod.so: undefined
symbol: xmlByteConsumed
[root@coyote /]#
---------------
And I will categorically deny doing anything to my python install that
a yum update didn't do. The only housekeeping I've done in the last
month was that I discovered I had 2 identically named qt libraries,
one in the qt3.3 tree, and one in the qt.3.1 tree, so the whole qt-3.1
tree got nuked.
Addendum, I fixed the grip compile problems from the first post by
moving copies of the libraries it was looking for from where they
were to where the *(&%^% makefile was looking for them. Bad dog, no
bisquit.
What packages do I need to get, update to and/or (re)install to
restore the yum and/or python problem? I think rpm is still
working.
