Problem booting after upgrade python

[balduro]

Hello, I've a problem after updating software.
The new version of a program is needed the python 2.7 library, but pclos 2012 has python 2.6. I've tried to install the 2.7 version and python shows me that is needed to install several system libraries. I am proceeding to install these, but the system crashed and is not booting now.

Synaptic not shows python upgrades, so the updating was rpm packages by hand. After grub, the error is that a file is not found.

question is: Is it possible to recovery of that, or it is necessary to make a full install?

Thanks

Are you adding these applications and libraries from some source other than our repo mirrors?

I'm not sure, but I would say yes.

Synaptic not shows Python 2.7 and also the dependencies version needed. So I looked for rpmfind.net, and downloaded mandriva version for them.

The particular program you were trying to install does not need Python 2.7.  It is simply that you tried to install an RPM from another source which happened to be built against Python 2.7. 

As discussed in your other thread we build that program against Python 2.6 which is what we currently have in our repository.

I'm afraid I don't know what your attempts to install alien packages has done to your system.  You may be faced with re-installing to sort it out.  This is why we strongly advise against installing packages from outside the repo unless you know exactly what you are doing and have the necessary skills to sort out any problems which arise.

Ok, I'll boot from live CD for trying of recovery data before reinstall
Thankyou
