[ydl-gen] problem editing firewall

[Derick Centeno]

 From what you listed it appears that some data structures weren't built  
correctly to acquire data sets from certain files.
Simply stated, the computer (at least in the section you provided) is  
asking you to correct the code.  For many, understanding and correcting  
coding problems, is a skill set yet to be acquired.

If one is not quite interested in delving into coding just at that  
moment, one work around is to reinstall that program and insure that  
there are no missing components.  The best way to do that within the  
YDL environment is to use yum, and let it take care of finding  
dependencies and whatnot.

You could do things this way, find anything you have installed with  
"sec", remove it and then reinstall it.

This can be done in three steps all using yum.
1.  Use yum to find what you have installed.  The * before and after  
sec tells yum to include all combinations of letters and numbers before  
and after sec.  sec is short for security; it is not a command but a  
shorthand for system-config-securitylevel.
      $ sudo yum list installed *sec*

2.  Use yum to remove it.
       $ sudo yum remove *sec*

3.  Use yum to install.
      $ sudo yum install *sec*

Good luck....
