Greetings all; Partial duplicate post since no one commented on

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 ?

File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 31, 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.
Have you tried "yum clean"? I suspect your cache got wonked and yum
doesn't like that.
Well, I just cranked up a cli to look for that, and got this:
[root@coyote root]# strings /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libxml2mod.so | grep xmlByteConsumed
libxml_xmlByteConsumed
O:xmlByteConsumed
So that is there it seems, so we'll try your way :)
Uhh, no, same error:
[root@coyote root]# yum clean
Traceback (most recent call last):

import libxml2mod
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libxml2mod.so: undefined symbol: xmlByteConsumed
I hate being a PITA, but I guess I am :(
Next suggestion?
Are you currently running FC1 or RHL8? Your subject is a bit
confusing. I'll recommend 'rpm -V' on yum dependent packages to make
sure the packages are consistant - and compare the versions with what
it should be [for the given distribution]
rpm -q yum python libxml2-python
rpm -qV yum python libxml2-python
rpm -Va

For FC1:
asterix:/home/balay>rpm -q yum python libxml2-python
yum-2.0.7-1
python-2.2.3-7
libxml2-python-2.6.6-3
asterix:/home/balay>rpm -qV yum python libxml2-python
S.5....T c /etc/yum.conf
asterix:/home/balay>
