[Yum] Yum 2.3.3-1 with redhat enterprise 4 update 1

[Nielsen, Steve]

Oded,

I tried to install yum 2.3.3 on fedora core 3 (similiar to rhel4) and I got that same result as you.

It turns out the package "python-celementtree" (you can get this from dag) needs to be installed for everything to work properly.

There must be a missing dependency from one of the RPMs somewhere.

Once I installed that package yum 2.3.3 worked.

Steve

rhel4 is mostly like fc3. You'd be best off getting those dependencies
from the Fedora Extras 3 and Fedora Core 3 repositories.

The most important bits is to make sure the python path to the packages
you've installed is /usr/lib/python2.3 not /usr/lib/python2.4
