From: Bob on 1 Dec 2009 11:32 I just upgrade from fedora 10 to fedora 11. When I tried to update with yum i get: yum updateThere was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: No module named yum Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.6 (r26:66714, Mar 17 2009, 11:44:21) [GCC 4.4.0 20090313 (Red Hat 4.4.0-0.26)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq When I read the faq, it essentially gives me the same info: no module named yum Ideas? This seems like a ridiculous problem. If yum doesnt work, everything else is painful. Thanks

Did you use the installation media and tell it "update", or did you change your upstream repository to the new repository and do it one component at a time, or what? And do you have any reason not to jump to Fedora 12 now?

I didnt change any of the repos. Whatever it did it did on its own. About Fedora 12, yes, im avoiding it. I tried updating my other machine from 11 to 12 and it had video issues. It didnt recognize my 512Mbyte AGP card (fed 11 works fine), and even in text mode after upgrading (init level 3), the cursor was stuck up at the upper left corner. After 1 page of text I couldnt see anything anymore, it was very strange. I have a perfectly running server that Id hate to have to re-install things on because it would take me 3 days to set it back up with everything. On a side note, is there some reason why older fc rpm packages are left on an upgrade? ie I have some fc10 rpms and not fc11 ones after the upgrade which I suspect might be causing this? Seems to me fedora should take care of it for me during upgrade somehow.

Some packages may have been discarded and thus remain in place, effectively unused. Asking Fedore updates to remove such packages is to destroy things accidentally in an upgrade process.

I would if yum worked at all, its completely hosed. just typing 'yum' gives me the above message, let along arguments. Ive really had it with fedora at this point, I started having issues around 9 or 10, various problems, but this is really the last straw. Im going to try out Ubuntu from now on. Unfortunately my one system I still need to fix or spend 3 days re-doing with Ubuntu, the other one I can reload from scratch. Thanks |
