 |
|
I just updated from Fed 8 to Fed 9, went to do yum update and got the
following:
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:
No module named _sha256
Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.
It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jun 15 2008, 23:59:20)
[GCC 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-33)]
Ok not sure why yum didnt take care of updating itself properly
on the update, but now what do I do to fix this? It seems its
complaining about one of the python modules so I checked the old
fc8 python stuff and got:
rpm -qa | grep python | grep fc8
libxslt-python-1.1.24-1.fc8.i386
python-2.5.1-26.fc8.i386
python-setuptools-0.6c8-1.fc8.noarch
audit-libs-python-1.7.4-1.fc8.i386
python-devel-2.5.1-26.fc8.i386
python-libs-2.5.1-26.fc8.i386
python-genshi-0.4.4-2.fc8.noarch
python-exif-1.0.7-4.fc8.noarch
MySQL-python-1.2.2-7.fc8.i386
Im always curious why the upgrade installation leaves old packages
around and doesnt update them if its indeed updating, in this case,
python stuff?
What do I do to fix this exactly?
Thanks |

Ok I had to remove at least 3 of the python rpm's using --nodeps and
re-install
the equivalent fc9 ones. I still dont get why the upgrades dont take
care of
getting rid of old ones and replacing them. |
