!! What to do if yum update is broken
If @@yum update@@ is broken and you get a Python stack trace similar to this one:
[@
[root@someserver ~]# yum update
... stack trace here ...
TypeError: unsubscriptable object
[root@someserver ~]#
@]
Fix it like that:
[@
[root@someserver ~]# yum clean metadata
Loaded plugins: kernel-module
24 metadata files removed
12 sqlite files removed
0 metadata files removed
[root@someserver ~]#
@]
