Description Rick Richardson 2007-09-19 12:12:10 UTC

Did the upgrade from FC6 to F7.

Then did a:

# yum upgrade
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

   No module named rpm

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 (r25:51908, Apr 10 2007, 10:29:13)
[GCC 4.1.2 20070403 (Red Hat 4.1.2-8)]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
  http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq

Now I can't use yum!!!!

please run: rpm -qa | grep rpm

did anything odd or bad happen during your upgrade?

Comment 2 Panu Matilainen 2007-09-19 12:51:41 UTC

If fully up-to-date F6 is updated to F7 without having F7 updates repository
enabled, rpm wont get updated...

Comment 3 Rick Richardson 2007-09-19 13:01:21 UTC

[root@localhost rick]# rpm -qa | grep rpm
rpm-python-4.4.2.1-1.fc6
freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc
rpm-build-4.4.2.1-1.fc6
rpm-4.4.2.1-1.fc6
redhat-rpm-config-8.0.45-15.fc7
rpm-devel-4.4.2.1-1.fc6
rpm-libs-4.4.2.1-1.fc6

Normal result for FC6 to F7 upgrade.

Comment 4 Seth Vidal 2007-09-19 13:11:15 UTC

Panu, oh, this is b/c the f7 base rpm wasn't newer than fc6 updates. Thanks

This is a BUG.  Not a NOTABUG.  Will we see it in F7 -> F8 ????
