[SOLVED] Yum Undefined Symbol

[atrium]

Hi,

I'm normally used to apt-get for Debian and Ubuntu for my home computers but am required to use Yum and SuSE SLES 10.1 for work.

Unfortunately I've managed to break yum after I performed a "yum update", and I am not very familiar enough with how package systems work internally to fix this problem.

I get the following error for Yum:

/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libxml2mod.so: undefined symbol: xmlSchemaIsValid

I tried reinstalling libxml2 and don't know really what else to try. I've spent some time looking around on forums for solutions, but I'm still stuck. How have other people solved this sort of issue?

Determine the package for the file you given using the following command:
rpm -qf /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libxml2mod.so

Then try erase the package and install a fresh package.

Thanks for the idea, Swagata. I tried it and uninstalled the package and got a new version but unfortunately the problem didn't go away. I looked through some email threads about the yum issues and found that sometimes the issue wasn't even related to what was being printed at all.

So, I took a guess and did these two steps which worked but I still don't entirely know why...

Using `rpm:`
Installed upgrade to python-sqlite-1.1.8-4.2.x86_64.rpm
Installed upgrade to yum-3.2.4-2.1.x86_64.rpm
