This problem still affects yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-5, at least on i386. I don't know if this helps tracking down what is broken, but a _work_around_ kludge until yum-metadata-parser is fixed: pull the _sqlitecache.so (and just that file) from a yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-1.fc8.i386.rpm and use it to replace the one installed by yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-5.fc9.i386.rpm, and yum works again. found at: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=178870 the problem is glib2 changed the functions it calls without incrementing the version of the library. So the dependency in yum-metadata-parser has no way of knowing it needs to be changed. reassigning to the glib maintainers. I don' t know since when it is supported to selectively install development versions of packages onto older releases. Sure, the inaccurate dependency is unfortunate. |
Description of problem: "yum --enablerepo=development update yum\* rpm\*" on Fedora 8 gives you a broken yum. Trying to run it gives the following error: There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: /usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/_sqlitecache.so: undefined symbol: g_assertion_message_expr Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Oct 30 2007, 13:45:26) [GCC 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-33)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please go to the yum faq at: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq /usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/_sqlitecache.so is owned by yum-metadata-parser, so I'm assuming it should have a dependency on something in the newer version of python in rawhide. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm x86_64 4.4.2.2-12.fc9 development 1.2 M rpm-libs x86_64 4.4.2.2-12.fc9 development 922 k rpm-python x86_64 4.4.2.2-12.fc9 development 65 k yum noarch 3.2.8-2.fc9 development 509 k yum-metadata-parser x86_64 1.1.2-4.fc9 development 26 k How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 8. 2. yum --enablerepo=development update yum\* rpm\* Actual results: Above error. Expected results: Working yum. :-) Additional info:
