BTW I already removed prelink from both machines and performed prelink -u. I have the same problem. apt-get, yum, yumex, smart all work (as does straight rpm), only synaptic has this problem. Downgraded synaptic to fedora 8 -> problem remains Downgraded apt to fedora 8 -> problem remains Downgraded rpm & rpm libs & beecrypt to fedora -> problem is gone Looks like a bug in rpm or a bad interaction between synaptic and (newer) rpmlib (versions). Maybe in the end something to hit the rpm developers with ;-) The assignee, Panu, *is* the rpm developer, so either way this report is in good hands. :) Does it work to use the F8 rpm/rpm-libs with F9's apt/synaptic to check whether it really only rpm/rpm-libs that triggers this alone? Comment #3 implies that all were downgraded for synaptic to work. Yes, initially all related packages were downgraded. Afterwards, I upgraded one by one, holding back beecrypt because rpmlibs has a hard dependency on the f8 version. I can confirm that all works with solely the rpm and rpmlibs (depends...) downgraded to f8. Also I have to note that apt-get actually works in all versions... *** Bug 464309 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 464588 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I can confirm this (as does the presence of 2 duplicates ;-) ). Is there anything which can be done about this? Bug 464309 claims this started happening with the newkey repos, but even if that's the case, it's still only on F9, it works on F8 with updates-newkey. Well, looking at the timing of this report, it can't be related to the newkey stuff. > Well, looking at the timing of this report, it can't be related to the newkey

Exactly. This trouble has started with fc9, long before the key issue. I haven't been able to install rpms using synaptic for I think over six months now.
Please note that the trouble seems to originate from an update version of the rpm libs. Maybe you didn't update these before?
Hohum, I've managed to mix up this with another (unrelated) checksum issue. The deal is that Synaptic install progress handling interacts badly with NSS (yes I know it sounds a bit weird), which rpm in F9 and newer uses for crypto functionality. To properly fix, the install progress handling needs a big overhaul (it always was more than a little murky), a temporary workaround is to enable "external package manager" mode of apt-rpm for Synaptic: Settings -> Set Internal Option -> Variable: RPM::PM Value: external -> Apply -> Close After this change, when called from Synaptic, apt-rpm will use external rpm command instead of using librpm calls to perform installs etc, this avoids the NSS-gets-broken-over-fork issue. Hi Panu. Thanks for the workaround, which works fine. Now to see if rpmfusion has done anything about providing apt-get, and synaptic support for their repo's. Many thanks for your work with apt-rpm. It's much appreciated. Nigel. The following should work just fine and I hope this helps. Contents of rpmfusion.list --------------------------- repomd http://download1.rpmfusion.org/ free/fedora/updates/10/x86_64/ repomd http://download1.rpmfusion.org/ nonfree/fedora/updates/10/x86_64/ Example for Reference in Preferences ------------------------------------ Package: * Pin: release c=free-fedora-updates-10-x86_64 Pin-Priority: 1002 Package: * Pin: release c=nonfree-fedora-updates-10-x86_64 Pin-Priority: 1002 Thanks for the info Eli. Unfortunately, having changed your lines to access the repo's for F9, and i386, I'm still getting errors as below. Reading Package Lists... Error! E: Error occured while processing kmod-open-vm-tools#0.0.0.123053-1.fc9.4 (CollectFileProvides) E: Problem with MergeFileProvides /var/lib/apt/lists/download1.rpmfusion.org_free_fedora_updates_9_i386_repodata_7872e554bb8328f5f8216de9f6b67188fce510e6-primary.sqlite E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. [root@localhost djmons]# If I comment out the free repo in /etc/apt/sources.list, I then get errors for the nonfree repo with a different kmod package, and still the parsing errors. This is the wrong place to continue this, and I'll have to bug rpmfusion again. I don't have an F10 install yet, so cannot confirm that the lines you provided on the previous comment, suitably changed to i386 would work for me, but I presume that both apt-get, and synaptic are working for you with the rpmfusion repo's. It could be worse. We could still be stuck with redhats up2date (FC1), and that was a disaster if you were on dialup, as it had no resume support. I'll take this back to rpmfusion, as Livna, and Freshrpms had no problem with apt-get, and synaptic. Nigel. Unfortuneately, taking a look at koji, it would seem that apt has not been updated for Fedora 9. Any chance Nigel will see an update for Fedora 9? This should be now fixed in rawhide Synaptic, will make updates for F10 and 9 but I'd appreciate if somebody can test it a bit more before that - I only did a very basic smoke-test. And remember to remove the workaround from comment #11 before testing :) Downloading the SRPM. Builds successfully on F-10 x86_64 and i386. Synaptic happily, and effeiciently installed on both type systems. I guess you could say its... dang... its working :) I havn't tried the newly fixed synaptic yet, but as Eli gives a confirm that it works on F10, I'll take that as fixed for F9 as well, but will try it on F9 myself. Worse though is that Apt appears to be broken after recent updates on F10. Apt on F10 had been working ok, then I added the repos for rpmfusion in /etc/apt/sources.list. An apt-get update went ok, and apt-get dist-upgrade showed there were a bunch of packages to be installed, including 2 for rpmfusion. Said yes, and the packages were downloaded, but the GPG key couldn't be found for the 2 rpmfusion packages, so nothing was installed. As I had to do on F9 with the same problem, I did a yum install for the 2 rpmfusion packages, which then asked for confirmation for the 2 rpmfusion keys. Said yes to both, and the rpmfusion packages were installed. Now I run apt-get dist-upgrade again, and as the rpmfusion packages are already installed, the rest of the packages are installed without any further problems. The next time I run apt-get update, the primary, and filelists are downloaded ok, but then I get this output.

You say that synaptic is now working ok for you on F10. Have you got these latest rpm updates yet that I list above, and if so, is apt-get still working without problems for you? Nigel. You will need to rebuild the rpm-4.6.0-10 sources from koji as well. > Reading Package Lists... Done

Since this is a different issue than the originally reported one, doesn't it deserve a different bug?
Already has one https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485616 synaptic-0.57.2-18.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/synaptic-0.57.2-18.fc10 Update for F10 Synaptic to fix the md5 issue submitted now, F9 is more complicated as the rpm 4.4.2.x-hacked-to-use-nss doesn't export the functionality the patch needs. So F9 needs an rpm update first, sigh... (it's needed for some other things too, will do as soon as I find the time). The rpmdsDupArgv thing is a completely different issue and doesn't exist in F9, lets not pile up stuff... Nice that Synaptic is fixed for F10, and should soon arrive on my updates list. I can still use the workaround on F9's Synaptic, Regarding the rpmdsDupArgv problem on F10 Eli (comment 22) showed a bug report for this against rawhide (now fixed and closed). Should I create a bugreport for the same problem against F10? It seems to be a bit pointless if someone with the authority, can simply submit the same fix that worked for rawhide (rpm-4.6.0-10 or latest), to F10 updates. Currently I've reverted rpm, rpm-libs, and rpm-python to version 4.6.0-0.rc3.1.fc10, and have the rpm package pinned in apt preferences, so that it is not upgraded, and apt is working ok with this. Nigel. There's already a F10 tracker for the rpmdsDupArgv issue: bug 487881. And yes it will be fixed sooner than later, I just want to collect a couple of other fixes to the same update. synaptic-0.57.2-18.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Downloading as I write. Any time frame on the newer rpm packages. REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT Panu.... Earlier in the day, to do a test, I downgraded rpm from rpm-4.6.0-10 REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT!!!! Panu.... Earlier in the day, to do a test, I downgraded rpm from rpm-4.6.0-10 to rpm-4.6.0-1. I needed to test something and in the process I hosed /var/lib/rpm/Packages. The problem was the db format. If I remember correctly rpm-4.6.0-10 rebuilds with db4 support and rpm-4.6.0-1 is built with db3 support. So. now I'm in the process of trying to recover database as outlined in http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-15698;jsessionid=E05223C45C152389517D661E99234DB5.066ef7ba I think things will work. Also, do you know of a straight forward way to import /var/log/rpmpkgs into /var/lib/rpm/Packages. This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
