Description Mat Booth 2008-08-10 15:38:28 UTC
Description of problem:

I accidentally tried to yum install a source rpm instead of the binary rpm. It gave an error message, but then threw an exception. It should probably exit a little more gracefully than that.

yum-3.2.17-2.fc9.noarch

How reproducible:

Very, try yum installing a source rpm.

This is the stack trace and the step I took to produce the problem:

[mbooth@sd devel]$ sudo yum install /home/mbooth/fedora-cvs/eclipse-phpeclipse/devel/eclipse-phpeclipse-1.2.0-1.fc10.src.rpm --nogpgcheck

Comment 1 James Antill 2008-08-10 15:43:33 UTC
 We fixed yum to not install .src.rpm's in 3.2.17 at the latest, so this bug is fixed now.

Comment 2 Mat Booth 2008-08-10 22:17:09 UTC
Are you sure? That's the version I'm using and is the version that generates the traceback I posted above...

Comment 3 James Antill 2008-08-10 22:35:47 UTC
 You're right, this is the fix (in upstream now):

And this is available in 3.2.19
