How To Solve Missing Dependency Errors in Yum

Today when I was trying to install createrepo and repoview, I repeatedly got this weird error: Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.4. The problem is strange at first sight because yum is designed to include missing dependencies. The solution is very simple, just run:
rpm –rebuilddb

That’s it.

whether i need to reboot after this?
it’s not working for me.
I am using fedora 8.
Once i updated the whole system after that this problem came.
now i can’t update or install any of the package in my system

I think you are confusing RPM commands with Yum.. what you posted doesn’t work.

can’t agree.
I think so “yum clean all”,”yum -y update” or “rpm –rebuild”.
