Hi. I'm pretty new to this thing, so any help is appreciated! I have got yum working well before, but today it suddenly failed me. I'm guessing something is wrong with yum/python.. here is the error message when I type yum on my terminal:

Could not find platform independent libraries

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
No module named yum
Yikes, hopefully rpm is still happy, Can you verify the yum packages:
# rpm -V yum* rpm* python*
and try to import the yum module into python:
$ python

>>> import yum

Use exit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit

Also, what is the command you are trying - try with -d 10 to enable the
debug text.
