[root@server2 yum.repos.d]#

Someone had tried to install differnt version of python on this server. That caused this problem.

When i run urlgrabber-ext-down, i get error saying python missing.

[root@server2 ~]# /usr/libexec/urlgrabber-ext-down
-bash: /usr/libexec/urlgrabber-ext-down: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[root@server2 ~]#

Problem fixed by creating symlink

ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python

See yum
