Yeah, rpm can be fragile :( Here is what I've done just now: removed, and re-installed that version of yum, no change The python stuff seems to be mostly ok from this: [root@coyote dlds-rpms]# rpm -qa|grep python python-devel-2.2.3-7 python-tools-2.2.3-7 rpm404-python-4.0.4-8x.27 gnome-python2-applet-2.0.0-2 libxml2-python-2.6.6-3 mod_python-3.0.4-0.1 gnome-python2-canvas-2.0.0-2 python-docs-2.2.3-7 postgresql-python-7.3.4-11 gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.0.0-2 gnome-python2-bonobo-2.0.0-2 python-xmlrpc-1.5.1-7.x.3 python-popt-0.8.8-7.x.2 rpm-python-4.2.1-0.30 gnome-python2-2.0.0-2 MySQL-python-0.9.1-9 python-2.2.3-7 python-optik-1.4.1-1 python-clap-1.0.0-3 [root@coyote dlds-rpms]# rpm -V `rpm -qa|grep python` S.5....T /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/cgiwrap.pyc S.5....T /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/xmlrpclib.pyc missing d /usr/share/doc/python-xmlrpc-1.5.1/COPYRIGHT missing d /usr/share/doc/python-xmlrpc-1.5.1/README.sgmlop missing d /usr/share/doc/python-xmlrpc-1.5.1/README.xmlrpc missing d /usr/share/doc/python-popt-0.8.8/README missing d /usr/share/doc/python-clap-1.0.0/ChangeLog missing d /usr/share/doc/python-clap-1.0.0/README [root@coyote dlds-rpms]# So unless I was using the wrong option, the python install seems to verify except for ancient stuffs. But, I tried to do: [root@coyote packages]# rpm -F libxml2-python-2.6.6-3.i386.rpm warning: libxml2-python-2.6.6-3.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2 [root@coyote packages]# And got my prompt back instantly. >Wayne Steenburg I gotta head for the hill, later Wayne, and many thanks. -- Cheers, Gene There are 4 boxes to be used in defense of liberty.
