Description

I haven't tested this, but as far as I know we should hit the same problem on RHEL-6 (RHN generating unique filenames, but giving us .xml not .sqlite). It'll get fixed in 6.1, with any rebase. But depending on how much the MD changes between 6.0 => 6.1, people might be unhappy (esp. small virts with small /var/cache). I can't mark it as 6.0.z, so marking it for 6.0.0 (although I realize that's "unlikely"). Thank you for your bug report. This issue was evaluated for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Unfortunately, we are unable to address this request in the current release. Because we are in the final stage of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 development, only significant, release-blocking issues involving serious regressions and data corruption can be considered. If you believe this issue meets the release blocking criteria as defined and communicated to you by your Red Hat Support representative, please ask your representative to file this issue as a blocker for the current release. Otherwise, ask that it be evaluated for inclusion in the next minor release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Cause: yum didn't remove old generated .sqlite files Consequence: when using unique filenames /var/cache/yum would grow a _lot_ Fix: remove old generated filenames Result: cache directory didn't grow without bound An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.
