what do you know i use the CLI 99% of the time .However i installed the new kernel today and yum works but yumex gives the same error as yours .
It looks like a python problem .

[sprocketboy]

Oops, I forgot to add that my yum CLI seems to work just fine ... I just did a 'yum update' and it completed successfully.

So, yeah, the underlying yum machinery is probably not the issue here.

Getting exact same error here on 2 64-bit machines.

Same here! Just ran updates on my desktop and laptop. Both doing the same!

[doug60]

Just looked at the update history. Looks Like some Python libs got updated. Probably what broke Yumex.

[JohnVV]

it most defiantly a python problem seeing as PysolIFC also dose not work , i am about to look into it tonight .

Try

su
wget http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/yumex/2.0.5/3.fc9/noarch/yumex-2.0.5-3.fc9.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh yumex-2.0.5-3.fc9.noarch.rpm
rm -f yumex-2.0.5-3.fc9.noarch.rpm

[maruf908]

hey thanx leigh123@linux....this worked nicely.....

Yup, I am also seeing a lot of strange things happening since I updated this morning.
Not only is Yumex not working correctly, but I had to completely re-install the graphics drivers for my 8600GT . If anyone can help to resolve this issue I'd be extremely happy and think again about formatting Fedora 9 off my hard disk. (I am quite the newbie when it comes to linux)

There is quite a few threads on this, have a look at http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=204203

D-Money:
Welcome to Fedora!
Don't jump ship yet D-Money, give a few days to correct itself. Fedora is the bleeding edge, so it could happen to see things broken from time to time. Fedora is more of a development testing stage, the other freebi one, CentOS is the stable version(older release).
