/lib/libutil.so.1 no version information available

Latest response

Hello Guys,

thanks always for your help.

When I run this command : (rhel5)

yum repolist

I get this error

/usr/bin/python: /lib/libutil.so.1 no version information available ( required by /usr/lib64/libpython2.4.so.1.0)

And I also get my repolist output .

Any help with fixing this will be appreciated.

Thank you

Arrey

On RHEL5 /lib/libutil.so.1 is usually a symbolic link to a specific library.

If you run ls -l /lib/libutil.so.1 you should see something like:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jan 31 2015 /lib/libutil.so.1 -> libutil-2.5.so

If you then run ls -l /lib/libutil-2.5.so you should see something like this showing it is a regular file:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15308 Jan 19 2015 /lib/libutil-2.5.so

If you run rpm -qf /lib/libutil-2.5.so it should show you which package provided that file like:

glibc-2.5-123.el5_11.1

It is possible your link is missing or you installed something else that overwrote what is expected. You'd decide how to proceed based on what you see.

Also yum is sometimes flaky and requires you to stop yum-updatesd to prevent conflicts and/or simply requires you to do a clean up. Usually I:

Stop yum-updatesd by running "service yum-updatesd stop" then rerun my failing yum command to see if that solved it.

Do the cleanup with "yum clean all".
