yum/rpm hosed after upgrade

[ecbftw]

after working around the missing rsync issue by installing rsync, the upgrade seemed to work. many python packages weren't ported over, but they didn't seem critical.

After the upgrade, I saw many python3 packages were installed, which is what I expect. I needed some additional packages via pip3, so I installed python3-pip and then used pip3 to install two libraries.

After that, yum was completely hosed. The /usr/bin/python symlink was missing. so I fixed that and then it complained about the wrong version of liblzma. I worked around that by changing the symlink, now it says librpm is missing a symbol. There's no alternative version of librpm, so i can't just switch a symlink.

This machine I'm upgrading was a new centos 7 box with not much changed, so I'm not sure why the upgrade didn't work. Unfortunately I don't have time to debug a long series of library dependencies. This is more of a warning than anything.

Was this 7Server or desktop?
