Hey all--
i'm fairly new to linux and FC, but i've been lurking for a while and messing around with some systems here at home. Anyway, i recently tried to perform "rolling upgrades" to my two FC3 systems, a workstation and a file server that houses my mp3 collection, and backup sets of important data from the rest of the machines in my house. Each has failed, but I got the workstation to go and am writing this from it right now as it's "yumming" The server however had some issues. The "core" of the problem is that my yum cache directory got full cause the disk it's on (4gb scsi) ran out of space during the upgrade process. So I figured out how to move the cache dir to the RAID 5 hardware volume i got( a bunch of 18's with lots of free space) but now when i do a yum -y update I get this:
The yum libraries do not seem to be available on your system for this version of python 2.4.1 (#1, May 16, 2005, 15:19:29)
[GCC 4.0.0 20050512 (RedHat 4.0.0-5)]
Please make sure the package you used yo install yum was built for your install of python.
I'm not sure *exactly* what this error is telling me but what I gather is that the versions of yum and python on the system are mismatched, so in true hack and slash fashion, i've tried grabbing rpm's from redhat for both fc3 and 4 for yum and python and try to get the two in sync, but no worky. The kernel doesn't appear to be the fc4 kernel, so I think the machine is literally stuck mid upgrade. I didn't want to reinstall cause that means sitting(for at least part of the time) in front of the thing and it's in my crawl spoace, which is less than comfy. Also, I'm trying to learn and no better learning is acheived than from that of failure. Help, please? TIA
