Hello Seth.

Sorry but I don't know the answer for your question :/

I came up with this error when trying to do a yum update to the whole system. Afterwards I discovered that updating python show the same error.

This machine hosts an OS image system server (IBM Tivoli Provioning Manager for OS Deployment).

Thanks.

Vilhena

Comment 9 seth vidal 2011-01-03 18:02:42 UTC

so this machine was updated from el4 to el5?

I suspect if you clean up those broken pkgs above everything will work.
