greeting.
a short while ago, i may have gone to a site i should not have. maybe.
after visiting, i decided i would check for rpm updates.
when yumex opened to available packages, it showed that;
openssl.x86_64 0:1.0.1e-42.el6_7.4
was available, so i checked it, then clicked install button. during log display, i got error message, tried again. still got error.
seems that there is a 'protected' problem.
text from log is at filefactory;
http://www.filefactory.com/file/6x8rzrxmx8vx/yumex-error--openssl.2016-0301-...
tried a couple check at cli, it failed. then i tried a few more things that maybe i should not have.
http://www.filefactory.com/file/6uryf80i52ix/yum-error--ssl.2016-0301-1841
during all this, i decided to open vlc to play some relaxing music. not.
icon for vlc was no longer in my desktop top panel and reason the attempt to install vlc with yumex.
not aware of what all is happening, i closed yumex. mistake.
now, when i try to start yumex from panel icon, nothing.
starting yumex from cli, i get this;
~]$ yumex Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yumex", line 25, in <module> from yumexgui import YumexApplication File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yumexgui/__init__.py", line 34, in <module> from yumexgui.gui import Notebook, PackageInfo, CompletedEntry, YumexStatusIcon File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yumexgui/gui.py", line 30, in <module> from yumexbase.constants import * File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yumexbase/constants.py", line 35, in <module> from yum.constants import * File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 53, in <module> import config File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 30, in <module> from parser import ConfigPreProcessor, varReplace File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/parser.py", line 4, in <module> import urlgrabber File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/urlgrabber/__init__.py", line 54, in <module> from grabber import urlgrab, urlopen, urlread File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py", line 422, in <module> import urllib2 File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/urllib2.py", line 93, in <module> import hashlib File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/hashlib.py", line 88, in <module> import _hashlib ImportError: libssl.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
decided to try starting vlc from cli;
~]$ vlc bash: vlc: command not found
presuming that vlc starts from a diff command, i tried to open kde menu, it will not open.
i am now at a loss of what all has been removed and need help getting things back.
thanks in advance for any and all help.
to pass time waiting for reply, went thru kde application launcher.
found this progs have no icon:
cheese
audit logs
media player
note pad regedit wineconfig winefile winehelp wine software uninstall wine wordpad
audio cd extractor
running chkrootkit, shows
Checking `amd'... not found Checking `biff'... not found Checking `fingerd'... not found Checking `inetd'... not found Checking `inetdconf'... not found Checking `identd'... not found Checking `named'... not found Checking `pop2'... not found Checking `pop3'... not found Checking `rlogind'... not found Checking `rshd'... not found Checking `timed'... not found Checking `rexedcs'... not found

You can use rpm -v -V -a to check the validity of all your packages or rpm -v -V pkgname to check a single package.
See the following link for details. http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ch-rpm-verify.html
Steve, thank you for reply. it made my long night shorter.

never used '-V'.
"one is never too old to learn something new". and i am one of those 'one'.

that is one nice page to bring understanding of verify.
your reply has brought brought an end to my 'watch word', perseverance. having always persevered in what i do, this is one time that a command option has convinced me that i need to wipe a partition and reinstall.
there were close to 2K lines of missing dependencies which is close to the number of packages installed.
there is now much doubt that i would have been able to repair system without a lot time and aggravation.
all this does prove one thing, i need to check my biorhythms more often.
biorhythm 2016-0302: emotional -85% rising, physical +90% rising, intellectual + 8% falling
http://www.degraeve.com/bio.php
my biorhythm plots are not 100%, but they have proved out about 75% of time.
btw, i am using my laptop at this time as i no longer trust my desktop. ;-)
now pulling 6.7 netinstall. next is to copy grub.conf and fstab to ~/geo. after, i will copy /home partition so i can resize '/' partition and move extended partition down on drive. re-sizing '/' is because of another -% intellectual day and i made '/' 80GB. :-)
again, i thank you very much for your reply. it was of great help and will make this day more enjoyable.
take care, have a good one.
