I installed Fedora 20 yesterday, and after the installation was done, I installed a few packages successfully and then updated all the packages, and then shut down
Today when I first turned on the machine, I tried installing the remaining stuff I want, and I got a python error, to wit:
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/i18n.py", line 1 SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xfb' in file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/i18n.py on line 2, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details
I took a look at i18n.py, and it's a binary file, which couldn't be right.
There's no i18n.pyo, but there is a i18n.pyc.
It seems to me I might be able to reinstall python from the rpm, but I'm not sure about this.
Thanks for any help
I should have said reinstall yum, and I tried that after finding yum-3.4.3-152.fc20.noarch.rpm but rpm failed to unpack the archive.
