Bug 427158

This looks like a configuration error with yum-priorities.  Have you modified
the config file at all?  Does a 'yum update' from the command line throw the
same error (looking at it, my guess is yes, just want to confirm).  Also, what
version of yum-priorities do you have?

(In reply to comment #0)

This is the same problem I am encountering now. I just installed Fedora 8 a week
ago and this happened after I run "yum list available" at the terminal window. 
I used "yum -y install yum-priorities" and other procedures from the Unofficial
Fedora FAQs.

I am a Linux newbie so I don't how to modify anything. This appeared when I run
"yum -y install yum-priorities" at the terminal window - Package yum-priorities
- 1.1.9-2.fc8.noarch is already installed.

After running "yum -y install yum-priorities" at the terminal window, I ran
"nano /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf"

# The contents of that file look like:

[main]
enabled = 1

You need to add the line check_obsoletes = 1 to the bottom of the file, so that
it looks like:

[main]
enabled = 1
check_obsoletes = 1

After this, the bug suddenly appeared.  So, I went back to this point and
removed the two lines. Lo and behold!  The bug disappeared... or so it seemed in
my case.

I'm curious about something. If y'all are all new to linux, why are you
installing yum-priorities? It's a feature for more advanced users, I think.

I thinks that my problem is the same.
In a newly installed Fedora8 in a Asus A8N, when pirut is trying to update the
system, appears the following error.

If I try to update via 'yum update' that is the result:

Basically it seem that filelists.sqlite.bz2 is incompatible with our system

These are two separate problems.

In the first case it needs to be filed against yum-utils

in the second please open a new bug.

I'm going to close this one as it is too muddled to follow anymore.
