Here's my current status from an rpm -qa yum\* yum-kmod-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-list-data-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-fastestmirror-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-changelog-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-arch-2.2.2-1.el4.rf yum-downloadonly-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-versionlock-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-protectbase-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-kernel-module-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-12.el4.hrb.1 yum-keys-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-allowdowngrade-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-priorities-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-tsflags-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-merge-conf-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-aliases-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yumex-1.0.2-1.0.c4 yum-utils-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-protect-packages-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-NetworkManager-dispatcher-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-3.2.19-18.el4.hrb.5 yum-verify-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-plugin-fastestmirror-0.2.4-3.c4 yum-updateonboot-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-tmprepo-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-filter-data-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-upgrade-helper-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 yum-security-1.1.16-13.el4.hrb.1 The yum-refresh-updatesd has not made it in yet. It had a dependancy failure prior to getting all the above installed, so I excluded it and continued on. Anyway, after getting to the above status, I did a yum update and got the following Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ? yummain.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 229, in user_main errcode = main(args) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 84, in main base.getOptionsConfig(args) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 189, in getOptionsConfig enabled_plugins=self.optparser._splitArg(opts.enableplugins)) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 195, in _getConfig startupconf.pluginconfpath,disabled_plugins,enabled_plugins) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 361, in doPluginSetup plugin_types, confpath, disabled_plugins, enabled_plugins) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/plugins.py", line 159, in __init__ self._importplugins(types) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/plugins.py", line 202, in _importplugins self._loadplugin(modulefile, types) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/plugins.py", line 262, in _loadplugin module = imp.load_module(modname, fp, pathname, description) File "/usr/lib/yum-plugins/verify.py", line 167 @staticmethod ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax If you see any error in where I'm at, or need more information, just let me know. > > Regards, > David Hrbáč > <snip sig stuff> HTH -- Bill
