[WBEL-users] yum version, krb5, libcom_err.so.3

[Andy Rabagliati]

Folks,

  What version of yum do you use ? Where from ?

  I get this problem :-

File "/usr/lib/python2.2/ftplib.py", line 68, in ?
     all_errors = (Error, socket.error, IOError, EOFError)
     AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'error'

  Solved by this post on the yum list :-

  I 'upgraded' from FC1 to whitebox, so it was not a clean install (my laptop).

  With krb5-libs-1.2.7 I get /usr/kerberos/lib/libcom_err.so.3, a
  necessary library for httpd and php (whitebox).

  However, I get the mysterious failure of yum above, which is fixed by
  installing krb5-libs-1.3.1 - however it breaks dependencies for httpd and php.

Cheers,    Andy!
