Description Matěj Cepl 2008-05-27 12:11:16 UTC
Description of problem:
When running any PK-related command (pkcon, gpk-update-viewer, gpk-application)
I get this stacktrace:

[matej@viklef ~]$ pkcon get updates

    [......===.................................................]                

    [..........................................===.............]

Error Value: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'cacheonly'

    backend.get_updates(filter)

  File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py , line 1205, in get_updates

    ygl = self.yumbase.doPackageLists(pkgnarrow='updates')

    for (n,a,e,v,r) in self.up.getUpdatesList():

[matej@viklef ~]$ 


When running yum clean all (thought that I may have some junk in metadata) I got
this error message "Configuration file
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror-asyncore.conf not found" (which doesn't make
much sense, because /usr/lib/yum-plugins/fastestmirror-asyncore.py speaks only
about /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf).

When changing enabled=1 to enabled=0 in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf
PK-related packages work. Without it, they don't

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-utils-1.1.14-1.fc9.noarch
PackageKit-0.1.12-12.20080520.fc9.i386

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.make sure fastestmirror is enabled
2.pkcon get updates
3.
  
Actual results:
collect stacktrace

Expected results:
get a list of available updates

Additional info:
yum itself with all its commands works correctly.
