yum problems

[mblanco2000]

I am trying to install yum on MDK 10 CE. I compiled it from source and made it. Everything seemed fine. Now when I try to do anything with yum I get the following output:

 

# 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 18, in ?

import rpm

ImportError: No module named rpm

 

 

I tried both of these rpms:

yum-2.0.1-1mdk.src.rpm

yum-2.0.7-0.20040416.src.rpm

 

Can someone please help me out here.

Why are you trying to install yum? It's a package manager that comes with Fedora Core, isn't it? Not sure if you will succeed in getting it working properly under MDK.

Use urpmi instead, it's easier.

I even tried to install this package:

 

yum-2.0.1-1mdk.src.rpm which is meant for mandrake.

 

I took a look at urpmi.cfg file and it looks like all it does is install RPMS from the 3 cd's. Yum can be configured to get rpms from the web.

 

I just do not know what the output means that i am getting when I run yum:

 

# 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 18, in ?

import rpm

ImportError: No module named rpm

urpmi is the package manager for Mandrake. It can easily be configured to install RPMS from repositories across the web. (That is how most of us here set it up.)
