So how did yum get installed without complaining about the missing python-optik?
# yum update yum [...] I will do the following: [update: yum 2.4.3-4.el3.centos.noarch] I will install/upgrade these to satisfy the dependencies: [deps: python-optik 1.4.1-2.noarch] [deps: python-sqlite 1.1.7-1.2.1.i386] [deps: sqlite 3.3.6-2.i386] [deps: python-elementtree 1.2.6-5.el3.centos.i386] [deps: yum-metadata-parser 1.1.0-2.el3.centos.i386] [deps: python-urlgrabber 2.9.8-2.noarch] [deps: centos-yumconf 3-2.noarch] [...]
Forgive me for asking, but did you install the yum update with "rpm --nodeps"?
nope ;) Downloaded all the rpms and did rpm -Uvh *.rpm
Hmmm, did it happen to install python2.3 as a dependency? This package has a provides for python-optik, "blocking" the python-optik package from CentOS base being installed.
I just filed a bug for this:
