python upgrade dependancy issue

[Galactic Zero]

I'm getting this when I try and update python, would a no-deps fix this or do I have other issues?

I don't know where you got that DenyHosts-2.6-python2.4.noarch.rpm (ART has a denyhosts package, but it's just called denyhosts), but it doesn't look like DenyHosts has anything to do with the upgrade problem.

Have you tried running 'yum clean all' and trying the update again?

[Galactic Zero]

Thanks Breun,
That clean all did the trick.

[BerArt]

You can turn on YUM clean as standard now right?

[breun]

I don't know what you mean by 'turning on yum clean as standard'. The command 'yum clean all' is just a way to remove cached packages, headers, metadata and dbcache.

[BerArt]

I mean if I do a YUM update it alway's cleans automatically before searching for the updates en update, I thought this was a setting?

[breun]

No, yum does not automatically clean all caches before each run. Otherwise it would be pretty useless to cache things at all. It does check for updated packages of course, but only if the previous update was more than 1 hour ago (at least on EL5, you can configure this in /etc/yum.conf: metadata_expire=1h).

Ah, clear, Thx!
