But I'd have recommended grabbing your install media (if you're using CDs, pick the first one) and go cd /media/cdrom/Fedora/RPMS rpm -F --oldpackage python-2.3.4-11.i386.rpm and maybe rpm -F --oldpackage yum-2.1.11-3.noarch.rpm which should get you back to the versions on the install media. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | "Does exactly what it says on the tin." ... @westexe.demon.co.uk | I've got a tin at home: it says "Open other end". | It never is. | -- Humphrey Lyttelton, "I'm Sorry, I Haven't A Clue"
