python error

In trying to run the following command:

aurbuild -bea flock

I received this error:

/usr/bin/python: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.4.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried reinstalling the python package, but it did not change this error message.  Instead, I got this error:

[root@myhost aurbuild]# pacman -Sf python
:: python-2.4.3-3: is up to date.  Upgrade anyway? [Y/n]

Targets: python-2.4.3-3

Total Package Size:   8.5 MB

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]

checking package integrity... done.
loading package data... done.
upgrading python...
could not extract usr/lib/python2.4/Bastion.py: Is a directory
errors occurred while upgrading python
done.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Re: python error

if usr/lib/python2.4/Bastion.py is a directory delete it, it should be a file. Then upgrade python so it extracts it as file like it should be.

Re: python error

This worked for me.  I had to do it for another file, but just deleting that file and then reinstalling python worked.

Thanks.
