Welcome to the Linux Foundation Forum!
Yum does not work after updates
Options
I have two laptops with F12 installed which recently received updates and now the yum command does not work on either of them. I have attached a file showing the output when yum command is executed on one of these laptops.
Has anyone else seen this? Or does anyone have any ideas of how to resovle it?

This is a link to a thread in the FedoraForum that might help explain what is going on, though I don't know if the solution works. It might be related to a new version of Python, or some mismatched versionitis between python & the script it is running.

If I find something more helpful, I'll post back.
I only have one F12 system, I've already switched to F13, except F11 on my laptops, I'll try to update the F12 box and see if it's working here. Maybe we could check which versions of yum are running if your still having problems.
You could also try reinstalling yum using rpm -i <packagename> packagename would be yum, but I don't know the version.
I just saw the new version of yum that came in - yum-3.2.27-3.fc12.noarch.0 -
After the update the command "yum grouplist" worked for me. You might want to try:
rpm -ihv --force yum-3.2.27-3.fc12.noarch
and see if reinstalling yum might help.0 -
I did see the link from the Fedora Forum and I was planning on trying it.
I also tried
rpm -ihv --force yum-3.2.27-3.fc12.noarch
however, the following message was displayed
error: open of yum-3.2.27-3.fc12.noarch failed: No such file or directory
For what it's worth the /var/log/yum.log shows the yum-3.2.27-3.fc12.noarch was updated on April 29....0 -
Since I was not successful with the recommendations, I decided to rebuild the systems which resolved this issue.0

I just thought I should point out why the previous command returned an error message.

But given that yum.log claimed that this package was already installed, I don't think it would have solved your original problem anyway.0 -
Yes, afterwards I realized that I had downloaded the package to a different directory. I should have mentioned that in my last reply.0

I deleted your double post for you.
And I apologize also, I should have written my solution more carefully, and, advised you about running the rpm command from the folder where the yum app resided.
Although the reinstall was drastic, it may have solved future problems because when an app like yum, your default package manager, develops corrupt files, the problems may have spread to other files. So, in the end, at least you have a clean install.0
