Yum: after update it (with ANPM) my cmd yum .... don't function any more.

[Anchieri]

Two days ago I have updated my yum using Arca Noae Packages manager,
In the list of packages updated is listed yum and python, I have selected yum, after a while a window appeared with information that besides yum also python will be updated, I accepted and system continue the process. After downloading packages the system begin the installation process that terminate with a window that inform me that a blocking error is occurred and the process will be terminated after I close that window.
By now my yum is unusable with neither ANPM nor PM yum cmd.
ANPM don't give me the usual window with the list of packages installed, but only a blank window, the pm yum cmd do nothing, without a error msg giving me the motif.
Please tell me what I have to do for downgrade this situation, or install manually this two packages after you have a solution for me.
Thank you for all your work on this platform,

It seems you are using exp repo as well. This is not really recommended, as it might break some stuff. To get it working you probably need to update rpm from ​http://rpm.netlabs.org/experimental/00/zip/rpm-4_13_0-9_oc00.zip

[Yuri Dario]

check popuplog.os2 for

_RPM->PYTHON27._PyUnicodeUCS2_AsUTF8String
_SQLITE3->PYTHON27._PyUnicodeUCS2_AsUTF8String
PYCURL->PYTHON27._PyUnicodeUCS2_AsEncodedString

You probably need also:

​http://rpm.netlabs.org/experimental/00/zip/python-pycurl-7_19_5_1-2_oc00.zip

Thank you for your aid, I have installed the above zip file, but after that in Populog.os2 I have this msg:

004185
004186 06-15-2016 11:24:56 SYS2070 PID 006d TID 0001 Slot 00e1
004187 N:\USR\BIN\PYTHON.EXE
004188 _RPM->RPM._rpmdsRefs
004189 127

What is missed?

[Silvan Scherrer]

Are you sure you installed the complete rpm zip?

[Anchieri]

I have installed now also the zip file from Diver note, and now I receive this message using - - pm yum list all

[E:\]yum list all
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

No module named cStringIO

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:
2.7.6 (default, Jun 12 2016, 23:09:50)
[GCC 4.9.2]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:

​http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq

[Anchieri]

Be patient with me, but after corrected a my error this is the ultimate msg error that I receive in populog.os2 using the cmd:

yum list all

06-15-2016 11:59:00 SYS2070 PID 008d TID 0001 Slot 00cd
N:\USR\BIN\PYTHON2.7.EXE
_RPM->PYTHON27._PyUnicodeUCS2_AsUTF8String
127

What meant this?

You still have the old _RPM.DLL around. Be sure to unzip the full rpm zip.

[Anchieri]

in n:\usr\lib I have this phase:

is this correct?

As you can see, timestamp does not match comment#9, unzip again and make sure they are overwritten.

[Anchieri]

Thank for your help, after unzipping the file, all come OK, I can use cmd: yum list all
obtaining the list of packages installed, also ANPM function.
I don't know why this occurs I use Zippy tu unzip files, more probably I have inadvertently unflagged this directory and Zippy don't unzip it.

By now you can close this ticket, because for me it is resolved.
