Same version here: yum-cron-3.4.3-120.fc19.noarch

Downgrading back to -99 works.

yum-cron-3.4.3-120.fc19.noarch

in /usr/sbin/yum-cron at line 429:

self.tsInfo should perhaps just be tsInfo

later at line 431:

self.conf does not exist. Perhaps it should be self.opts (YumCronConfig) but that again does not have group_command attribute.

Thanks for investigating, but it's not a simple typo..  The code is copied from yum and assumes self is a YumBase instance, but here it's UpdateEmitter.  yum-cron should use the code already in yum.

Hi,

what about yum-3.4.3-122 for fedora 19?

thanks in advance

yum-3.4.3-122.fc20 has been pushed to the Fedora 20 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Closed? Really?

Last time I check _F19_ still has this problem and yum-cron does not install anything anymore. I have to run yum update manually each time new packages are available.

The bug report is about fedora 19 and yum-cron-3.4.3-120.fc19.noarch,
please push yum-cron-3.4.3-122.fc19.noarch to fedora 19 repo
(it's great to fix F20 but bug isn't closed)

So, yum-cron still fails, with the same error on a machine that uses yum-cron since this update was pushed out.  I don't mean to express surprise, but I left an affected machine as-is just to verify, and yum still can't download the update.  The last 3 lines of this machine's yum.log are:

Dec 11 03:41:53 Updated: yum-cron.noarch 3.4.3-120.fc19
Dec 11 03:41:53 Updated: dosfstools.x86_64 3.0.22-3.fc19
Dec 11 03:41:54 Updated: nspr.x86_64 4.10.2-1.fc19

I believe that anybody who relies on yum-cron for f19 is effectively now without updates without manual intervention.  Is this correct?  If so, we should probably work to notify people, who will otherwise miss security updates they might expect to have working.

I figured I'd ask here, in case I'm missing something, before working up the chain.

Looks like you still have the old version of yum-cron-3.4.3-120 installed from the last time the 3.4.3-99 updated itself.

To fix things for yourself you will need to do a manual yum update.

I might even go so far as to suggest a:

# yum clean all; yum check-update

to verify a newer version of yum-cron shows up in the list of available updates before attempting to perform the update just to verify.  Unfortunately this isn't a problem that will auto resolve itself with the release of a fixed yum-cron because the bad yum-cron has already been installed and cannot update anything including itself.  So yes, manual intervention is required on all systems where the user/sysadmin has been relying on yum-cron to do the updating.

Yes, it's bad, and some kind of warning or announcement is due... But yum-cron is (AFAIK) not installed by default.  I'd assume that people that have installed yum-cron (with yum, dnf or packagekit) will use the same tool more than just once, and therefore will install an update.
