Following some inadvertent replacement of various RPM's and then having to back them out again, my system was somewhat damaged. I uninstalled and then reinstalled yum. RPM claims that yum is good to go: # rpm -V yum ..?...... /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/repomd/__init__.py # yum list available Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 6, in ? import yummain File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 23, in ? import yum File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 20, in ? import rpm File "/usr/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/rpm/__init__.py", line 7, in ? ImportError: No module named _rpm # But apparently yum is having self-estime issues. Any ideas? Thanks, -Philip
