Topic: After upgrade restore to new machine. Yum fails.

[Drifting]

I have no idea what has caused this, wonder what <module> is ?

Any ideas?

yum update
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yum", line 4, in <module>
    import yum
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 43, in <module>
    import logging
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/logging/__init__.py", line 43, in <module>
    import threading
EOFError: EOF read where object expected

What about telling us what you did and how?

[Drifting]

Ok, this was a clean install of the latest version 9

Did a restore from a  ersion 8 backup I had. Have not installed anything else yet, but thought I should update it.

So hence the yum update, and the error.

Delete  yum_repository db (or just rename it) and call  initialize-default-database action (can't be verbose with phone) and try again

Hi,

I assume this is what you were telling me to do?

[root@acc ~]# rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
[root@acc ~]# rpm --rebuilddb
[root@acc ~]#
[root@acc ~]# yum clean all
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yum", line 4, in <module>
    import yum
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 43, in <module>
    import logging
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/logging/__init__.py", line 43, in <module>
    import threading
EOFError: EOF read where object expected

Still has a problem? Any further recommendations?

no

Code: [Select]

mv /home/e-smith/db/yum_repositories /home/e-smith/db/yum_repositories.old
/etc/e-smith/event/actions/initialize-default-databases
signal-event yum-modify
yum --noplugins --enablerepo=* clean all
yum --noplugins update

you'd tell us all the real story of the new server since it seems to me you having issue with yum/python, so tell us exactly what you did and how you did it

If you mean did I try to install something? Yes, I was trying to install PHPKI, however I got the same message, and it did not install. Nothing else and I mean NOTHING else was installed, and this clean, and then I restored a previous backup. Why you would think I would hide something when I was trying to get help?

Followed you instructions :-
