Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade from FC 2 to 3 using these instructions:
http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Up...x_with_yum.html . I
have done everything it says up to part 4. When I type "yum" anything, it
gives me:

Code:
root@tagging [~]# yum
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 6, in ?
import yummain
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 23, in ?
import yum
Warning: No module named yum

Any help or ideas will be greatly appretiated! Thanks!

yum works fine when I revert to FC 2 yum and fedora-release rpms

Is yum installed in FC3 - this usually happens if the yum is not
installed or it has some missing files ( yummain.py - I deleted these
files once and got this answer ).

Install the yum RPM under FC3 this might help ??

I'm using FC2, not FC3. I'm trying to upgrade to FC3.

OK !! Same answer reinstall yum on FC2.

I tried to find the yummain.py file and just load that but found it
easier to just re-install the whole RPM.

Can you "locate yummain.py" ??? On FC3 its in "/usr/share/yum" - not
sure about the "yum-cli" - have a look at "/etc/yum.conf".

What exactly do you mean by "yum works fine when I revert to FC 2 yum
and fedora-release rpms" ??

I recommend against upgrading this way.  Some folk have gotten it to work,
others have not, but it's always a shaky process.

In theory, it should be doable but sometimes RPM packages don't
properly indicate their dependencies or don't recognize the
"obsoleted" packages (package "foo" is now called "bar").

Just my $2e-02

Cheers
