Hello all,
I am having a problem running yum after doing the 4.6 upgrade. I did a live update through yum and no problems were encountered. However, now when I try to run yum (with any commands/options) I get this error right after loading/reading the repo's -
eading repository metadata in from local files Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 102, in main result, resultmsgs = do() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 489, in doCommands ypl = self.returnPkgLists() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 1085, in returnPkgLists ypl = self.doPackageLists(pkgnarrow=pkgnarrow) File "__init__.py", line 993, in doPackageLists File "packageSack.py", line 148, in searchNevra File "packageSack.py", line 236, in _computeAggregateListResult File "sqlitesack.py", line 514, in searchNevra File "sqlitesack.py", line 403, in db2class File "/var/tmp/python-sqlite-root//usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/sqlite/main.py", line 97, in __getattr__ AttributeError: LOCATION_BASE
Running "yum clean all" seems to work but the error does not go away.
I know less than nothing about python so that doesn't help. I also did a search through the list archives and on Google but couldn't come up with anything (OC, I may not have been asking the right questions). The server has a bad optical drive so I can't boot into the rescue CD (yet, I've got a replacement coming). Whenever it gets here I'll be updating to 5.1 but in the mean time there's some security fixes that have come down the pipe which I can't update to due to yum being petulant.
If anyone can shed some light on this or point me in the right direction to get this fixed it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Joe

Hello Joe,
I had exactly the same problem. I guess that the problem is the yum version upgraded. To solve it I searched for an older yum version. I found this one: yum-2.4.3-4.el4.centos.noarch. And at least it works.
Hope it helps

That is the LATEST yum for centos-4 ... where did you get a NEWER one that???
Where ever you got it from, that is what broke your system.
Hope it helps
Hmmm ... not sure what is happening, but this command could help (all one line):
rpm -q yum yum-metadata-parser sqlite python-sqlite python-urlgrabber python-elementtree python
The results should be:
yum-2.4.3-4.el4.centos yum-metadata-parser-1.0-8.el4.centos sqlite-3.3.6-2 python-sqlite-1.1.7-1.2.1 python-urlgrabber-2.9.8-2 python-elementtree-1.2.6-5.el4.centos python-2.3.4-14.4.el4_6.1
You can manually download and install any of those that are missing from:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/
OR
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

It came from the atrpms repo. I downgraded and all is fine. Thank you and to Lorenzo Martínez Rodríguez for pointing me in the right direction.
