I think your workaround IS the fix. yum should not update itself first if only b/c in certain situations it would pull in an array of other, unexpected, things for the user. example: running yum update gcc and getting an update of: yum, python, rpm, rpm-python, python-elementtree and sqlite wouldn't exactly be very nice for a user just looking for a gcc update. the nightly yum update that a user can enable updates yum first and then does a global update. I think that's fair enough. So, how about what emerge does, warns the user that yum is out of date and recommends an update? Simple, non-confusing and would complete the job. Is it better for the user to guess why yum fails? Seth, ping my problem with issuing the warning is that it is confusing to the user too. I'm not sure there is a good answer to this. I'm just not keen on doing it that way. |
