From: gnosbush on 13 Jul 2007 18:09 Not the best idea I had, but I was getting frustrated with an error yum kept giving me (python(abi) = 2.4 is needed) so I uninstalled it from my RH Enterprise 5 server thinking I could easily reinstall. I have been trying to get it installed again but have been unsuccessful. I tried using rpm file yum-3.2.1-1.src.rpm from the yum website. When I installed it, it didn't give me any error messages but it also didn't install. When installing it I get the following: [root(a)server installed-files]# rpm -Uhv yum-3.2.1-1.src.rpm warning: yum-3.2.1-1.src.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 69886cc7 1:yum ########################################### [100%] I also tried compiling the code from the yum website but that didn't work. Does anyone have any other ideas of what I can do to get it back? Thanks!

But when I try to install httpd-devel, I get the following errors. This was the whole reason why I uninstalled it in the first place thinking a fresh install would solve this problem. There doesn't seem to be much help on the internet regarding this: Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.4 is needed by package rhnlib Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.4 is needed by package sos Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.4 is needed by package dogtail Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.4 is needed by package python-urlgrabber Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.4 is needed by package rhel- instnum

Do you have any idea how to get around the 'Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.4 is needed by package' error?

Do you have any > idea how to get around the 'Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = > 2.4 is needed by package' error? You installed the SRPM, or source rpm. Look in /usr/src/redhat/ for the files from that source RPM you could use to rebuild the software. I really wish that source RPM's were named .srpm, instead of .rpm, to make the difference clear. You need to install the binary RPM, probably yum-3.2.1-1.i386.rpm |
