Note: After this failure, only pam-0.99.8.1-5.fc8 remained in rpm entry and the other 180 rpms seemed to have been removed from rpm entry. Well, reproduced again on the following set: ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Updating: WindowMaker i386 0.92.0-14.fc8 koji 1.9 M mc i386 1:4.6.1a-49.20070604cvs.fc8 koji 2.1 M w3c-libwww-devel i386 5.4.1-0.5.20060206cvs.fc8 koji 205 k Updating for dependencies: WINGs-libs i386 0.92.0-14.fc8 koji 309 k w3c-libwww i386 5.4.1-0.5.20060206cvs.fc8 koji 380 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================= More precisely I did yum update on CUI like: # ( LANG=C ; yum -y upgrade --exclude=foo --exclude=baa 2>&1 | tee yum-update.log ) Eek... yum dies in callback function in middle of transaction, that's very deadly indeed. now I am confused. Exiting in the middle of a transaction will DESTROY the rpmdb? What the hell? I've fixed the bug - I have no idea how it wasn't triggered before this - I must have run 100 transactions with this code but I never ran any of them dumping output to a file or tee - I'll add that to the tests to run. Mamoru, if you can easily reproduce / have the demolished rpmdb still available, I'd appreciate if you can tar up the contents of /var/lib/rpm and put somewhere on the net where I can grab it for inspection (do NOT attach here, it's way too big). I'd like to see if what you're seeing is corruption of sorts, or have the entries *really* just gone up the wind.

Well, actually it seems reproducible when I use yum-3.2.3-1.fc8 with recording transaction log by using tee (as said in comment 2) I put the "destroyed" rpmdb on http://mtasaka.fedorapeople.org/RPM-contain-corrputed.tar.gz (note: 31.8 Mbyte) Here yum tries to update udev units wxsvg-devel xcdroast xmlto yasm zisofs-tools wxsvg (log included in tarball) and after yum transaction failure, rpmdb returns that udev units wxsvg-devel xcdroast xmlto zisofs-tools are not installed. (I have not checked 3.2.3-2.fc8 yet) Thanks, I've downloaded that now so feel free to remove from eating up your quota. I'll have a closer look tomorrow hopefully. Well, actually with 3.2.3-2.fc8 transaction failure seems disappeared. Thanks. Yes, not crashing in middle of transaction helps :) What I'm curious about is the effect on the rpmdb: typically when transaction crashes you get duplicates, not removed entries. |
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.3-1.fc8 Description of problem: Well, as I always activate koji repo on yum, I hit yum updates so I installed yum 3.2.3-1.fc8 a few hours ago beforehand. And also I hit many updates (from koji). So I tried to update them. Then... ----------------------------------------------------- Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Setting up Upgrade Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check <very long line omitted> recode i386 3.6-24.fc8 koji 851 k redland i386 1.0.5-6.fc8 koji 202 k samba-common i386 3.0.25c-3.fc8 koji 7.2 M system-config-firewall-tui noarch 1.0.4-1.fc8 koji 366 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 4 Package(s) Update 177 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 202 M Downloading Packages: Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction install-info: warning: no entries found for `/usr/share/info/grub.info.gz'; nothing deleted install-info: warning: no entries found for `/usr/share/info/multiboot.info.gz'; nothing deleted Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr//bin/yum", line 29, in <module> yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 180, in main base.doTransaction() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 382, in doTransaction self.runTransaction(cb=cb) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 571, in runTransaction errors = self.ts.run(cb.callback, '') File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/rpmtrans.py", line 251, in callback self._instProgress( bytes, total, h ) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/rpmtrans.py", line 330, in _instProgress self.complete_actions, self.total_actions) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/output.py", line 485, in event if self.output and (sys.stdout.isatty() or bytes == total): NameError: global name 'bytes' is not defined ----------------------------------------------------------- Then yum exited with abmormal state. After that: ------------------------------------------------------------ [root@localhost ~]# rpm -q pango package pango is not installed [root@localhost ~]# rpm -q redland package redland is not installed [root@localhost ~]# rpm -q recode package recode is not installed ------------------------------------------------------------- I cannot figure out what happened.... NOTE: I always save the downloaded rpms even after yum transaction is finished and this time I recovered by myself the state that many rpms seemed to be deleted. How reproducible: Only tried once..
