mblanco2000 Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 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.

william Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mblanco2000 Posted April 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padma Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 (edited) 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.) Check out the site: www.urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php Edited April 20, 2004 by Padma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
