Hello,

I have FC3 (x86) and I want to install yum-util.
I cannot upgrade currently this machine to fc4/fc5 beacuse of many reasons.
on rpmfind.net there is no rpm for fc3.
So I downloaded the  yum-utils-0.6 tar
from http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/download/yum-utils/;

the readme doesnot specify exactly how to build and install it;
so and I tried :
"make install" (I hope this is the way).

Now , running yumdownloader (and alsoyumdownloader with the needed
paramters) give the following error:

yumdownloader
shows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yumdownloader", line 28, in ?
    from yum.misc import getCacheDir
ImportError: cannot import name getCacheDir

It is probably something with a path to some python source code.

Any ideas what I should do ?
Regards,
MR
