Description Murray Schwalbaum 2004-11-03 13:46:20 UTC 
Description of problem:

Updated yum package (yum-2.1.11-3) does not have any repository
information in the package. This causes yum to break as soon as you
update the yum package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-2.1.11-3)

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum update yum on a FC3-test3 system.
2. try to do any yum action
3.


Notes:

Diff suggests that config that used to be in yum.conf was removed.
This should either be put back into yum.conf or in yum.repos.d.

Suggested Fix:

Put configuration information in yum.conf or yum.repos.d.

Just the output from running a yum upgrade yum.

/etc/yum.conf diff (new versus old)

diff yum.conf yum.conf.orig  > yum.conf.diff

yum.conf is the new updated config file (from the new rpm)

yum.conf.orig is the old config file that I put aside before upgrading a second
time.
Comment 3 Murray Schwalbaum 2004-11-03 13:54:23 UTC 
There is a problem with the diff, there is a line that just has arch,
that was supposed to be on the line before. Not sure how that happened.

The config is still missing, just my diff is a little sloppy.
Comment 4 Seth Vidal 2004-11-03 16:03:22 UTC 
it's not missing from that package.

the repo files are now provided by fedora-release.

the files go in /etc/yum.repos.d
upgrade fedora-release
Comment 5 Murray Schwalbaum 2004-11-03 18:20:08 UTC 
Shouldn't the updated yum package have had a dependency to the newer
fedora-release which I can't seem to find yet?

[root@freakout-dyn yum.repos.d]# rpm -q fedora-release
fedora-release-2.92-1
[root@freakout-dyn yum.repos.d]# rpm -ql fedora-release |grep yum
[root@freakout-dyn yum.repos.d]# yum upgrade fedora-release

set exactarch=0 in [main] in your yum.conf then run yum upgrade.
