Greetings. In an effort to get python2.4 on my Centos 3.7, I installed the python bootstrap rpm. This installed 2.4 alongside 2.2 and updated yum to 2.4.0.
Oddly, it didn't create a symlink 'python' for either 2.2 or 2.4. I also get a series of troubling dependency errors when I run yum update. Below is the output of the bootstrap install, which includes both a failure early on (possibly related to alternatives and/or the symlink?) and the yum update dependency errors towards the end. Beyond this, everything appears to be running (including fail2ban, which was my original driving force behind getting 2.4 installed). Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks. ----------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# rpm -ivh pyvault* warning: pyvault-release-bootstrap-3-3.el3.pyv.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4ad653e1 Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:pyvault-release-bootstr########################################### [100%] package pyvault-release is not installed --10:32:15-- http://python.org/pyvault/bootstrap-centos-3-i386.txt => `bootstrap-centos-3-i386.txt' Resolving python.org... 82.94.237.218 Connecting to python.org|82.94.237.218|:80... connected.
