I've removed yum by mistake. So, now I'm installing all the dependencies needed by yum manually. One of those is gettext-0.17-1.el5.i386.rpm and when I try to install it gives the following error,

error: Failed dependencies:
    /usr/bin/python is needed by gettext-0.17-1.el5.i386

which is weird since I've installed python 2.6 already in the system.

#python -V
Python 2.6.8
#which python
/usr/local/bin/python

So I copied /usr/local/bin/python to /usr/bin/python and even after that I'm getting the same error. Any help is appreciated.
