After I removed these four packages, the YUM update is successful. Now, I can<br>run Python 2.4 by 'python2.4' and Python 2.3 by 'python2.3'. There is no<br>'python' command directly.<br></blockquote></div><br>
The packages rely on the "alternatives" package that I took from ALT
Linux. It uses a set of rpm macros in the %post to install, but,
apparently it relies on a particular macrofiles tag found in
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc or /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/rpmrc. If it's not there,
then the link setup fails.<br>
<br>
To workaround manually, type this command as root:<br>
<br>
# alternatives-config /usr/bin/python<br>
<br>
Then select which python you'd like to be the default.<br>
