Well, you need package python-celementtree. It sounds like there's a bug in the yum package, as it should obviously have a dependency on this package, and doesn't. So: apt-get install python-celementtree And: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yum/+filebug Anyway, why on Earth are you installing yum?

I need git to do linux kernel development. b. I need flash for my firefox. So I downloaded the rpm file. So in Fedora Core, normally I will do "yum install xxx.rpm" where xxx.rpm is the downloaded flash rpm file from adobe, and yum automatically will do a recursive download of all dependent packages and install it at the same time. "rpm" cannot do that. Sorry for all these...for flash I think I found the answer in: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy and for the kernel I found it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide Ok...problem solvedthank you for the guide on git-core everyone ...etc! -- Regards, Peter Teoh -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Python 2.5 includes celementtree. We have a separate celementtree package in the archive for use with Python 2.4. I'm not sure why you'd bother with Yum in a Debian derived distribution, but if you run Yum with Python 2.4: : python2.4 /path/binaryname I'd guess it would work through that problem if celementtree is installed.

It turns out that before Linus developed the distributed VCS called 'git' there was already a project called the 'GNU interactive tools', or 'git'. This is what the 'git' package contains.

On the other hand, I'm don't think that installing programs through yum is a good idea on an Ubuntu system. I may be wrong here, though.

No idea if that helps, but usually, if a package install is problematic and you have 211 not upgraded packages, you should "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" first to make sure you have the newest version of dependent packages and dependencies in general. Try the "-s" switch to simulate the upgrade first, because upgrading 211 packages might be huge. ;) I hope it works after that. signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
