yum-3.4.3-8.noarch reports Python module problem after install

  • 1.  yum-3.4.3-8.noarch reports Python module problem after install

    Posted Thu December 16, 2021 05:27 AM
    Hi All,

    I  have installed yum on AIX - 7100-05-08-2114 but while trying to check yum getting below error, please help me to resolve this issue. 

    root@jtydatastagesr1_test:/home/root # yum
    There was a problem importing one of the Python modules
    required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was:

    No module named _rpm

    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:
    2.7.12 (default, Feb 20 2017, 03:58:51) [C]

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


    root@jtydatastagesr1_test:/home/root # rpm -qa yum
    yum-3.4.3-8.noarch
    root@jtydatastagesr1_test:/home/root # oslevel -s
    sh: /usr/bin/rpm: cannot execute
    7100-05-08-2114
    root@jtydatastagesr1_test:/home/root #

    Hi Milind,

    Looks like your rpm.rte is broken.
    could you let me know the output of "lslpp -L | grep rpm.rte"
    Have you installed YUM using yum.sh script or manually ?
