Help with yum.

[Katari]

I was trying to add a repository to yum so I could install git and nginx and I ran an update that the website told me to and it broke yum. I think it has to do with the update to python. I have python 2.3 and python 2.4. Now when I try to install YUM I get the following errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 4, in ?
import yum
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 49, in ?
import comps
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/comps.py", line 22
import cElementTree
^
IndentationError: expected an indented block


I am desperate to get this working. I can't even find the newest RPM for YUM to try to install that. Someone please help me out.

Thanks:

Which version of RHEL or Fedora are you using?
Try executing this

su -c 'yum clean all'

[Katari]

when I try to run "yum clean all" I get the same error:
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 4, in ?
import yum
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 49, in ?
import comps
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/comps.py", line 22
import cElementTree


I am running Linux version 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5 (mockbuild@x86-006.build.bos.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-4)

Do you have any other ideas?

Try to rebuild RPM Database.
Execute this

su -
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
db_verify /var/lib/rpm/Packages
rpm --rebuilddb
yum clean all

I tried that and I get the same results. Any other ideas?
