linux输入yum后提示： -bash: /usr/bin/yum: No such file or directory的解决方案

今天在安装程序时，发现有一个插件未安装，我就随手敲了一个命令,看都没看

yum remove yum

然后就杯具了...

[root@localhost ~]# yum 
-bash: /usr/bin/yum: No such file or directory 

这个粗心的手误倒不至于让整个系统瘫痪，yum 却无法使用了。于是，我试着折腾了一番

rpm -ivh --nodeps http://mirrors.163.com/centos/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/yum-fastestmirror-1.1.16-14.el5.centos.1.noarch.rpm 
rpm -ivh --nodeps http://mirrors.163.com/centos/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-3.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm 
rpm -ivh --nodeps http://mirrors.163.com/centos/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/yum-3.2.22-26.el5.centos.noarch.rpm

关于rpm --nodeps的解释

--nodeps             don't verify package dependencies 

接下来，再次尝试输入yum,结果再次出现莫名错误

[root@localhost ~]# yum 
 There was a problem importing one of the Python modules 
 required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: 
 
 libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 
 
 Please install a package which provides this module, or 
 verify that the module is installed correctly. 
 
 It's possible that the above module doesn't match the 
 current version of Python, which is: 
 2.4.3 (#1, Nov 11 2010, 13:30:19) 
 [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)] 
 
 If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to 
 the yum faq at: 
 http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq

因为yum调用的是python,运行 Python，试下是否可行

[root@localhost~]# python 
 Python 2.4.3 (#1, Nov 11 2010, 13:30:19) 
 [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)] on linux2

提示缺少libxml2.so.2，安装一下试试

rpm -ivh http://mirrors.163.com/centos/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/libxml2-2.6.26-2.1.2.8.x86_64.rpm

再次测试运行下yum命令，结果正常了，大喜
