Today I have faced yum error, after installing python3.3 instead of deafult python on the server. After installing the “yum” command is getting failed. So I have revert the python to default and enabled symlink for python3. Now the server has python3.3 and python2.6.6
root@ [/usr/bin]# yum install gcc
File “/usr/bin/yum”, line 30
except KeyboardInterrupt, e:
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Enabled a symlink for python3
