FWIW, I've had the same problem right for the last ~24 hrs. Just
installed FC2.
So did I just now, and when I was done, I tried to fire off yum to go
bring it up to date. Silly me, I have exactly the same error I had
for the last month after yum updated something on the FC1 system.
The python and yum lists have seen this question form me before, no
answer then, hopefully now there might be one.
This is the error for yum:
---
[root@coyote lib]# yum check-update
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 22, in ?
import yummain
File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 31, in ?

import libxml2mod
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libxml2mod.so: undefined
symbol: xmlByteConsumed
This is the error for up2date:
---
[root@coyote lib]# up2date
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 29, in ?

import libxml2mod
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/libxml2mod.so: undefined
symbol: xmlByteConsumed
And an "strace synaptic" falls over with this:
---
open("/usr/lib/librpm-4.2.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
writev(2, [{"synaptic", 8}, {": ", 2}, {"error while loading shared
libra"..., 36}, {": ", 2}, {"librpm-4.2.so", 13}, {": ", 2}, {"cannot
open shared object file", 30}, {": ", 2}, {"No such file or
directory", 25}, {"\n", 1}], 10synaptic: error while loading shared
libraries: librpm-4.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
) = 121
exit_group(127) = ?
Which it should as librpm is now 4.3.so etc.
Gee, I sure wish an upgrade didn't break more than it fixed.
