Hey all,

	There's a problem with vzyum on Fedora 7 or Fedora 8 due to Python 2.5.
This is the error:

ERROR: RPM python path not
found: /usr/share/vzpkgtools/vzrpm44/lib/python2.5/site-packages

	Looking in /usr/share/vzpkgtools/vzrpm4[34]/lib/ there is support only
for python2.3 and python2.4 and not python2.5.

	This is already been reported in bugzilla a couple of times, bugs 649
and dup 656.

	Anyone got any suggestions for workarounds?  I'm getting ready to
manually install yum (which is a pain and maybe I should have installed
yum into them all when I could still run vzyum) into each of my VMs
since I can't update anything in any of them as is.

	Mike

Might I suggest Smart instead?  Frankly I can't see how anyone can stand
to use Fedora with yum (or even apt-rpm).  Smart is faster, has better
dependency resolution and can often fix the cyclic dependency hell
created by yum or apt-rpm (unlike those two package managers, smart can
intelligently downgrade packages as well).

I've fixed many a FC box that would have normally required an hour of
manually replacing RPM's with a simple "smart fix".

Usually you can just do "yum install smart" after a fresh Fedora
install, but if yum is broken, just install the smart rpm and the smart
config rpms from here:
