Pirut bug report

Comment 2 Luke Macken 2007-12-10 19:52:45 UTC
Thanks for the bug report, Dave.  Could you please try downloading this file and
copying it to /usr/lib/yum-plugins, and see if that fixes it.

Comment 3 Mark Harig 2007-12-26 02:04:06 UTC
My computer also had the problem with pirut that is described above, with the
same line numbers in the python code.  I followed the instructions in Comment #2
after renaming my 'fastestmirror.py' and 'fastestmirror.pyc' files.

I was then able to start 'pirut' via the Applications|Add/Remove Software menu
item without any errors.

My setup is different from the above in that I have a different set of
repositories and I am running Fedora 8 on the x86_64 platform.

$ rpm -q pirut
pirut-1.3.28-1.fc8.noarch

$ rpm -q yum-fastestmirror
yum-fastestmirror-1.1.9-1.fc8.noarch

$ rpm -q yum
yum-3.2.8-2.fc8.noarch

$ rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.4.2.2-7.fc8.x86_64


Comment 4 Max Kanat-Alexander 2007-12-28 04:34:14 UTC
That seems to answer the question.

Comment 6 Mark Harig 2008-01-03 23:41:11 UTC
This problem has returned with the recent update to the 'yum-fastestmirror' RPM
package.  At the start of pirut, a python stack traceback is generated with
nearly the same line numbers as the originally attached log.  I downloaded the
suggested fix at http://lmacken.fedorapeople.org/tmp/fastestmirror.py again, and
again copied it over the file in /usr/lib/yum-plugins.  This again resolved the
problem, i.e., pirut starts without error.

Here are some relevant details:

$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/yum-plugins/fastestmirror.py
yum-fastestmirror-1.1.9-2.fc8.noarch

$ diff /usr/lib/yum-plugins/fastestmirror.py /tmp/fastestmirror.py
