Greetings;
I reinstalled yum 2.0.7 by force, added a few excludes to the yum.conf, and it downloaded and updated about 90 packages, including the whole kit, devel and python, for libxml2.
Now, yum won't run again, nor will any other python/libxml2 using
program because there are new things in the lib that nothing else
knows about:
[root at coyote root]# yum update
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ?
import yummain
File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 31, in ?
import yumcomps
File "/usr/share/yum/yumcomps.py", line 4, in ?
import comps
File "/usr/share/yum/comps.py", line 5, in ?
import libxml2
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libxml2.py", line 1, in ?
import libxml2mod
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libxml2mod.so: undefined symbol: xmlNewDocPI
In /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages I now have:
[root at coyote site-packages]# ls -l libxml2*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 347678 Oct 27 17:18 libxml2mod.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 911 Oct 27 17:18 libxml2mod.la
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 263088 Oct 27 17:18 libxml2mod.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 308578 Oct 27 17:18 libxml2.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 525102 Oct 29 02:49 libxml2.pyc
So how do I get things matched up again so everything (up2date, yum, gftp,
etc all works again?
