 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I'm by no means a yum expert but wouldn't that * at the end imply the system will try to install every vaguely python-related package, most of which you probably won't need and some of which may conflict with others (as you have noticed)?

Have you tried doing just

yum install python

?

That's what I did, it yielded a working python installation, then I added packages as needed.

(the same goes for PHP, sometimes more is less. Or less is more. Either way I do not think it's a great plan to install every single php/python related package)

Thanks.

I have some developed this habit of putting an * at the end. I think this might installed all the necessary packages will run smoothly forever, not knowing the possible conflict with other packages. I wanted to be safe and happy instead I have made a mess, thanks for correcting me, though. Thanks.

Ok, now it looks to me that I have installed all the pakcages that I need correct as the below terminal output shows, fingers crossed.

Code:

[root@localhost john]# rpm -qa python
python-2.7.3-6.fc17.i686

[root@localhost john]# rpm -qa perl
perl-5.14.2-212.fc17.i686


[root@localhost john]# rpm -qa php
php-5.4.4-4.fc17.i686

[root@localhost john]# rpm -qa mysql
mysql-5.5.25a-1.fc17.i686

No worries, I've always been weary of wildcards

if you're going to combine php/mysql you may also want php-mysql and php-common packages. You have a minimal perl/python/php/mysql install now (which will work), you can add specific packages as needed.

I just looked at my perl and python install base, both yield a page of installed packages ha ha.
