I wonder why you chose a subject line like that when you broke Python
yourself? You even found the cause of it, didn't you?
Here's the error I get:
"""
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/cPickle.so: undefined symbol:
PyUnicodeUCS4_DecodeRawUnicodeEscape
That's provided by libpython (python-libs package).
I've tried reinstalling python from fedora rpm (same version) - to no avail.
Another clue: I've installed a self-compiled python in /usr/local.
Most likely you override LD_LIBRARY_PATH with /usr/local and your
self-built libpython in /usr/local/lib.
However, I was careful to not make it conflict with the built-in
version:
Apparently not careful enough. ;)
Okay, I'll try reinstalling the python-libs package.
According to rpm -q, the file is owned by "python-2.5.1.." package -
which is why I tried reinstalling that one, instead.
