Dear Friends,
I have a problem with yum command. whenever i give yum command at
root, i get the following fail message
---------------------------------------
[root@macs_20_252 praj]# yum update
Traceback (most recent call last):

--------------------------------------
The problem started when i tried to install mplayer. Now I cannot
install any package, even from add/Remove software menu. Please help
me to solve the problem.
Thank you
