In a fit of cargo culting I tried "yum clean headers" and "yum clean all" but they don't help Could you try this as root: yumdb sync gnome-python2-gnome yumdb sync was added on Oct 26, and F14 has yum-utils version 1.1.28 from August. I can't use yum with a different repo, so I instead took the patch from http://yum.baseurl.org/gitweb?p=yum-utils.git;a=commitdiff;h=9382ceee464a7e0e389f85f5c8c517d106909b24 and made a local yumdb. Unfortunately, it crashes with this trace: ./yumdb sync gnome-python2-gnome Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, presto, refresh-packagekit Found 90 installed debuginfo package(s) Enabling rpmfusion-free-updates-debuginfo: RPM Fusion for Fedora 14 - Free - Updates Debug Enabling rpmfusion-free-debuginfo: RPM Fusion for Fedora 14 - Free - Debug Enabling fedora-debuginfo: Fedora 14 - i386 - Debug Enabling updates-debuginfo: Fedora 14 - i386 - Updates - Debug gnome-python2-gnome-2.28.1-3.fc14.i686 Traceback (most recent call last): File "./yumdb", line 231, in <module> main() File "./yumdb", line 227, in main run_cmd(yb, args) File "./yumdb", line 188, in run_cmd setattr(pkg.yumdb_info, ykey, ndata[ykey]) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/rpmsack.py", line 1659, in __setattr__ self._write(attr, value) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/rpmsack.py", line 1595, in _write misc.unlink_f(fn + '.tmp') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/misc.py", line 899, in unlink_f os.unlink(filename) OSError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/var/lib/yum/yumdb/g/a3dbcf24aa1fd0c0002512b4c88dfd823ac86216-gnome-python2-gnome-2.28.1-3.fc14-i686/changed_by.tmp' The root cause is of course /var/lib/yum/yumdb/g/*gnome-python2-gnome which should be a directory but instead is a regular file. I have four such files in the /var/lib/yum/yumdb/* directories, all with mtime March 1 2009. This system was upgraded from F13 but the packages appear to be from f14 which I installed sometime in the fall of 2010, so I don't understand the 2009 dates. This unfortunately looks like a filesystem corruption on my system, but yum should deal with it more gracefully. a3dbcf24aa1fd0c0002512b4c88dfd823ac86216-gnome-python2-gnome-2.28.1-3.fc14-i686 f3a9ebaebb51d94bb9e42a7254ffeb2bcefb2fd9-mysql-5.1.52-1.fc14-i686 ebb0e56182c33d9f78df2efb8a1ead022566bf85-qt3-devel-3.3.8b-30.fc14-i686 b00e6399257cc49668771e1d728aa46e676240d3-system-config-date-docs-1.0.10-1.fc14-noarch 87ec61512c8854bc7c9ff64b53d951764f9c6bdd-vorbis-tools-1.4.0-2.fc14.1-i686 I found a workaround: I deleted the faulty files manually, and ran yumdb sync <packagenames> which made yum happy, and allowed me to complete the update. I think the 'sync' verb in yumdb should test for non-directories and clear them out. This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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 |
Description of problem: after successfully updating Fedora 14 multiple times, update stopped working due to a yum error (see below) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.28-5.fc14.noarch, relatively current F14 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. on my system, every 'yum update' command fails this way 2. 3.
