Description of problem: Recently built (last night) Fedora 9.0 fresh from current distribution. Let yum update requested modules. Then ran: yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)" To install KDE. Then rebooted and KDE works just fine. However, yum fails. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.16-2.fc9.noarch python-2.5.1-25.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. in shell type 'yum update' or any yum command Actual results: [root@dell gfullmer]# yum There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: /lib/libnss3.so: undefined symbol: SECKEY_CreateSubjectPublicKeyInfo, version NSS_3.2 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, Apr 8 2008, 01:20:16) [GCC 4.3.0 20080404 (Red Hat 4.3.0-6)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq Expected results: yum behaves normally Additional info:
The problem went away after the SECOND Boot. It appears that when something is Python (?) is running when yum is updating KDE it puts the system into an inconsistent state which requires rebooting. However, I have no idea why it took 2 times to fix it. Glen
Can you attach your /var/log/yum.log?
Created attachment 309170 [details] Yum Log
Do you have any files that live in /usr/local that you installed? B/c it looks like something is keeping python from starting up which is what is breaking yum.
