If I try: up2date -u I get: RPM package conflict error. The message was: Test install failed because of package conflicts: package krb5-libs-1.3.1-1 (which is newer than krb5-libs-1.2.7-14) is already installed
Thus far my attempts at fixing this have (predictably!) made things worse! RPM dependency hell!
I have now broken, and therefore uninstalled, yum and up2date. Reinstalling yum gives: # rpm -Uvh yum-2.0.8-0.1.rh9.rf.noarch.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:yum ########################################### [100%] # yum Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ? import yummain File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 22, in ? import clientStuff File "/usr/share/yum/clientStuff.py", line 25, in ? import pkgaction File "/usr/share/yum/pkgaction.py", line 25, in ? import rpmUtils File "/usr/share/yum/rpmUtils.py", line 12, in ? from urlgrabber import URLGrabError File "/usr/share/yum/urlgrabber.py", line 21, in ? import urllib2 File "/usr/lib/python2.2/urllib2.py", line 101, in ? import ftplib File "/usr/lib/python2.2/ftplib.py", line 68, in ? all_errors = (Error, socket.error, IOError, EOFError) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'error'
The yum docs suggest that this results from an incorrect yum package but I've checked and double checked that (and tried a handful of alternatives).
This is likely to end up at the point where I try a CD-based upgrade to CentOS4. Will this be likely to succeed or am I wasting my time? Any other hints?
