For an unrelated reason, I had to uninstall vsftpd from my CentOS 5.3 install. When I went "yum install vsftpd.i386", I get this: > [root at 76-240-25-136]# yum install vsftpd.i386 > Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities > Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile > * rpmforge: fr2.rpmfind.net > * base: centos.mirrors.tds.net > * updates: ftp.lug.udel.edu > * addons: mirror.cs.vt.edu > * extras: styx.biochem.wfubmc.edu > Setting up Install Process > Parsing package install arguments > Resolving Dependencies > --> Running transaction check > ---> Package vsftpd.i386 0:2.0.5-12.el5 set to be updated > 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 145, in main > (result, resultmsgs) = base.buildTransaction() > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 647, in > buildTransaction > (rescode, restring) = self.resolveDeps() > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py", line 696, in > resolveDeps > CheckDeps, checkinstalls, checkremoves, missing = > self._resolveRequires(errors) > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py", line 779, in > _resolveRequires > thisneeds = self._checkInstall(txmbr) > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py", line 851, in > _checkInstall > provs = self.tsInfo.getProvides(*req) > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/transactioninfo.py", line 432, > in getProvides > result.update(self.getNewProvides(name, flag, version)) > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/transactioninfo.py", line 414, > in getNewProvides > for pkg, hits in self.pkgSack.getProvides(name, flag, > version).iteritems(): > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/packageSack.py", line 300, in > getProvides > return self._computeAggregateDictResult("getProvides", name, flags, > version) > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/packageSack.py", line 470, in > _computeAggregateDictResult > sackResult = apply(method, args) > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 861, in > getProvides > return self._search("provides", name, flags, version) > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 43, in > newFunc > return func(*args, **kwargs) > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 837, in > _search > for pkg in self.searchFiles(name, strict=True): > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 43, in > newFunc > return func(*args, **kwargs) > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 586, in > searchFiles > self._sql_pkgKey2po(rep, cur, pkgs) > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 470, in > _sql_pkgKey2po > pkg = self._packageByKey(repo, ob['pkgKey']) > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 413, in > _packageByKey > po = self.pc(repo, cur.fetchone()) > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 68, in > __init__ > self._read_db_obj(db_obj) > File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 94, in > _read_db_obj > setattr(self, item, _share_data(db_obj[item])) > TypeError: unsubscriptable object > >From what I can see, this looks like an error with Python 2.4, but I don't know what to do Any help?
