Red Hat Enterprise 4 RHEL 4 Up2Date vs. Yum plus problems!

Hi,

Just moved over from Cpanel to Plesk. Too soon to comment on which is better since I had a hellish migration process. With that said I am trying to update a few things. In Cpanel it allowed me to be a n00b by upgrading from the WHM panel. I haven't really used update or yum.

I tried installing yum but now when I run yum I get the error...

There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

No module named yum

Please install a package which provides this module, or
verify that the module is installed correctly.

It's possible that the above module doesn't match the
current version of Python, which is:
2.3.4 (#1, Feb 2 2005, 11:44:49)
[GCC 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4)]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq

I've done some searching around but no one really uses yum on RHEL 4 I guess in part of the paid subscription thing.

Any suggestions?

Right, since you're on RHEL4, you want to use up2date, instead of yum.

So will I be able to perform most of the functions that yum does like search for dependencies ?

Also can I add yum libraries to the up2date config?

Yes, you can add yum or apt repo's to up2date in the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file.

Is this what I add?

# SW-Soft PSA 7.5.x RPMS
yum atomic-psa75 http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/psa75/RHEL4/

# Atomic RPMS
yum atomic http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/art/RHEL4/

Opps, should be 4ES.

Ok, I figured it all out.

Thanks for the help.
