Following some inadvertent replacement of various RPM's and then

I uninstalled and then reinstalled yum. RPM claims that yum is
good to go:
# rpm -V yum

# yum list available
Traceback (most recent call last):

import rpm
File "/usr/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/rpm/__init__.py", line 7,

ImportError: No module named _rpm

But apparently yum is having self-estime issues.
Any ideas?
This is FC3, right?
Try reinstalling rpm-python and see if that helps.
Paul.
Yes, FC3. Tried the suggestion: No joy.
I think /usr/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/rpm may be a leftover from
an upgraded RPM package, since downgraded again. See if any package
owns it:
$ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/rpm
If no package owns it, try renaming it:
# cd /usr/lib64/python2.3/site-packages
# mv rpm rpm.rpm441
Brilliant!

See if that helps. If rpm is subsequently broken, rename the directory
back again.
Paul.
