cooldude7273 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Hi, I'm trying to upgrade from FC 2 to 3 using these instructions: http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Upgrading...x_with_yum.html . I have done everything it says up to part 4. When I type "yum" anything, it gives me: 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markwolfe Veteran Posted May 25, 2005 Veteran Share Posted May 25, 2005 I went from FC1 to FC3 using CDs. I skipped FC2, as it didn't offer anything I did not have via yum update. FC3 was a new kernel, and I elected to do it via CDs rather than risk running into problems with yumming it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude7273 Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 Thing is, I'm in Atlanta, and the server is in Boston. Would it be easiest to have the datacenter update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted May 25, 2005 Veteran Share Posted May 25, 2005 Is this a remove web/mailserver or some such dedicated PC? If so, and there are no features needed in FC3 (and providing that the packages are updated!), there is no problem with FC1. All security issues are back-ported to keep you safe and secure. http://secunia.com/product/3489/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude7273 Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 I was told my server has a bad mix of Redhat 9 / FC 2 packages on it. I think the upgrade never completed maybe, so I ran yum -y upgrade to finish: root@tagging [~]# yum -y upgrade Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base Server: Fedora.us Extras (Stable) Server: Livna.org - Fedora Compatible Packages (stable) Server: macromedia.mplug.org - Flash Plugin Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Released Updates retrygrab() failed for: http://ftp.ens.utulsa.edu/pub/linux/fedora/core/updates/2/i386/headers/header.info Executing failover method Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Finding obsoleted packages Resolving dependencies ......Unable to satisfy dependencies Package jdkgcj needs gcc-java = 3.2.2, this is not available.

markwolfe Veteran Posted May 25, 2005 Veteran Share Posted May 25, 2005 Can you use yum to install the missing packages? If they aren't in the current repositories listed in your /etc/yum.conf, you may need to edit that file to include them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
