Description of problem: I'm trying to do createrepo via yum, i'm getting the below error, There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4: undefined symbol: libssh2_scp_send64 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: 2.6.6 (r266:84292, May 1 2012, 13:52:17) [GCC 4.4.6 20110731 (Red Hat 4.4.6-3)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py", line 28, in <module> import createrepo File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/createrepo/__init__.py", line 21, in <module> import yumbased File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/createrepo/yumbased.py", line 27, in <module> from yum.packages import YumLocalPackage File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 52, in <module> import config File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 30, in <module> from parser import ConfigPreProcessor, varReplace File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/parser.py", line 4, in <module> import urlgrabber File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/urlgrabber/__init__.py", line 54, in <module> from grabber import urlgrab, urlopen, urlread File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/urlgrabber/grabber.py", line 427, in <module> import pycurl ImportError: /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4: undefined symbol: libssh2_scp_send64 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.3 (Santiago) root@node1> cat redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.3 (Santiago) root@node1>rpm -qa|egrep -i "curl|libssh|create" python-pycurl-7.19.0-8.el6.x86_64 libcurl-7.19.7-37.el6_4.x86_64 libssh2-1.2.2-7.el6_2.3.x86_64 createrepo-0.9.9-17.el6.noarch curl-7.19.7-37.el6_4.x86_64 root@node1> How reproducible: Always Expected results: Please tell me how to avoid this error, Is it something I should upgrade here or something is corrupted. Additional info: I'm getting this error and its reproducible in my machine many times. But my colleague informed me that, he didn't face any issues and he has done the same steps what I've done now. Please let me know if you need any other details.
Please provide the output of the following command: rpm -q libcurl --requires | grep ssh
root@node1> rpm -q libcurl --requires |grep ssh libssh2(x86-64) >= 1.4.2 libssh2.so.1()(64bit) root@node1> I got it, Now I need to install 1.4.2 version of libssh2. I will try this and let you know the result. Thank you !
Your system apparently suffers from broken RPM dependencies. You have installed libcurl, which requires libssh2(x86-64) >= 1.4.2 despite you have no such package installed on your system. How did you upgrade libcurl?
here we have the older version of libssh2. libssh2-1.2.2-7.el6_2.3.x86_64 So I should update, correct ?
Yes. But I do not understand how you installed libcurl-7.19.7-37.el6_4.x86_64 without installing a new enough version of libssh2 first. Neither yum, nor rpm would allow it by default.
Even I'm not sure, how it got installed since this is the first time I'm using this machine..!! Anyways - my issue got solved. Thanks for your quick help and I will let you know if I get any updates from my colleagues abt the installation.
The libcurl package correctly requires a new enough version of libssh2 in order to prevent the above reported broken linkage. For some reason, the packages installed on the system did not satisfy the dependency. There is nothing to be fixed in curl or libssh2 packages, therefore I am closing this bug.
