Caused by a silly namespace problem already fixed in upstream CVS and will be in 2.3.3. The root cause is likely that you didn't have enough space on / for all of the updates. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050416 Fedora/1.0.3-2 Firefox/1.0.3 Description of problem: Running "yum update" to update fc4-test2 this morning resulted in the error: NameError: global name 'yum' is not defined Reducing the total number of packages to less than 50 allowed a successful install of all packages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.3.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum update To reduce the list of packages, I used commands similar to "yum update 'e*'". Actual Results: The test transaction succeeded, the real transactions failed before starting. Expected Results: Packages being installed.

I'll continue whittling down the list until the entire list installs or a bad package is found. (will finish before submitting this bug report) Once there was only 49 packages remaining, yum update installed without problems. 512MB RAM, only 28KB swapped (yes, KB).
