your python install is so badly damaged that yum cannot even find 'sys' So it cannot output the error that it can't open your rpmdb. That's REALLY bad. I don't think there's much we can do that but maybe tell you that you have to reinstall. Hmm, thats sad news :-/ I planned to switch from rawhide/i686 -> F12/amd64 anyway, so it could be worse. Everything else still seems to work, I'll simply way until F12 is released and do a fresh install. Thanks for your analysis, Clemens No, it's (probably) not that bad ... config.py doesn't import sys. Copy and paste bug. Wonderful :) After --rebuilddb and a restart, "yum update" works again without any problems. Thanks, Clemens *** Bug 529038 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 530174 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 530174 is an lvm creation error, not a yum error. It has probably been closed as a duplicate of this problem in error. *** Bug 532214 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
Description of problem: My laptop died twice, one time during "yum update" and the second time during executing yum-complete-transaction. When I now try to execute yum-complete-transaction, I get the following stack-trace: [root@localhost ce]# yum-complete-transaction rpmdb: Thread/process 1789/3086182080 failed: Thread died in Berkeley DB library error: db4 error(-30974) from dbenv->failchk: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - (-30974) error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/yum-complete-transaction", line 211, in <module> util = YumCompleteTransaction() File "/usr/sbin/yum-complete-transaction", line 118, in __init__ self.main() File "/usr/sbin/yum-complete-transaction", line 137, in main opts = self.doUtilConfigSetup() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/utils.py", line 99, in doUtilConfigSetup self.conf File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 723, in <lambda> conf = property(fget=lambda self: self._getConfig(), File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 249, in _getConfig startupconf = config.readStartupConfig(fn, root) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 805, in readStartupConfig startupconf.releasever = _getsysver(startupconf.installroot, startupconf.distroverpkg) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 916, in _getsysver if sys.hexversion < 0x02050000: NameError: global name 'sys' is not defined Also kpackage-kit refuses to do any work, reporting: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py", line 2957, in __init__ self.repos.confirm_func = self._repo_gpg_confirm File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 717, in repos = property(fget=lambda self: self._getRepos(), File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 496, in _getRepos self.conf # touch the config class first File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 723, in conf = property(fget=lambda self: self._getConfig(), File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 249, in _getConfig startupconf = config.readStartupConfig(fn, root) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 805, in readStartupConfig startupconf.releasever = _getsysver(startupconf.installroot, startupconf.distroverpkg) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 916, in _getsysver if sys.hexversion Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Rawhide, about ~1.10.09 How reproducible: Only on my system, probably due to corrupted RPM database.
