So did I just now, and when I was done, I tried to fire off yum to go bring it up to date. Silly me, I have exactly the same error I had for the last month after yum updated something on the FC1 system. The python and yum lists have seen this question form me before, no answer then, hopefully now there might be one. This is the error for yum: --- [root@coyote lib]# yum check-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 libxml2 File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libxml2.py", line 1, in ? import libxml2mod ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libxml2mod.so: undefined symbol: xmlByteConsumed This is the error for up2date: --- [root@coyote lib]# up2date Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 29, in ? from up2date_client import up2date File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2date.py", line 36, in ? import depSolver File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/depSolver.py", line 4, in ? import packageList File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/packageList.py", line 17, in ? import up2dateComps File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2dateComps.py", line 7, in ? from rhpl import comps File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rhpl/comps.py", line 5, in ? import libxml2 File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libxml2.py", line 1, in ? import libxml2mod ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libxml2mod.so: undefined symbol: xmlByteConsumed And an "strace synaptic" falls over with this: --- open("/usr/lib/librpm-4.2.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) writev(2, [{"synaptic", 8}, {": ", 2}, {"error while loading shared libra"..., 36}, {": ", 2}, {"librpm-4.2.so", 13}, {": ", 2}, {"cannot open shared object file", 30}, {": ", 2}, {"No such file or directory", 25}, {"\n", 1}], 10synaptic: error while loading shared libraries: librpm-4.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ) = 121 exit_group(127) = ? Which it should as librpm is now 4.3.so etc. Gee, I sure wish an upgrade didn't break more than it fixed. -- Cheers, Gene There are 4 boxes to be used in defense of liberty.
