'No module named urlgrabber' after 'yum update python'

[Andib]

After I did a 'yum update python' I always get -

{1}[m:\] yum update
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

   No module named urlgrabber

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, Apr  7 2014, 18:19:49)
[GCC 4.7.3]

If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to
the yum faq at:
  http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq

Other packages are also updated but don't know which. Is there a log somewhere?

[Silvan Scherrer]

This happens if you do "yum update python".
To overcome that, you need to xcopy x:\usr\lib\python2.6\site-packages\urlgrabber to x:\usr\lib\python2.7\site-packages. and after that "yum update urlgrabber"

Then all should work as usual.

[Yuri Dario]

The python 2.7 requirement for urlgrabber has been added only after building the latest package...

spec: urlgrabber, s3cmd, rebuild to fix for ticket#77.
Committed revision r430.

[MarkV]

That doesn't appear to have fixed my problem....

{1}[d:\home] yum update urlgrabber

Got any other ideas?

[Silvan Scherrer]

@Mark is your urlgrabber dir really uppercase? If yes change that to lowercase

[MarkV]

Yes, it is indeed upper case.

I changed it to lower case, and tried the update again.

This time it worked. I had no idea that directory names would be so case sensitive. I'll have to keep that in mind with yum.

Thanks very much.
