Description of problem: Yum refuses to start at all. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.4-3 How reproducible: 100% Actual results: [~#] yum update Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ? import yummain ImportError: Bad magic number in /usr/share/yum/yummain.pyc Additional info: 2.0.4-2 works perfect. It doesn't seem to matter what arguments I give, I get the same result anyway.
Hmmm, this smells like python-2.3.2. What happens if you rename the *.pyc file, causing python to recompile from the *.py?
On the opposite, it seems that this was a problem from running python 2.2.3. Upgrading pythong to 2.3.2 seems to have fixed it. The reason for not upgrading python in the first place was that it broke some dependencies. Hope this will be fixed too. Well, yum works now. I'm closing this bug, marking it as NOTABUG. I guess the dependencies of yum are wrong though if it needs python 2.3.2...
