Comment 1 seth vidal 2011-02-17 17:02:34 UTC

this is an iniparse issue at the lowest level.
here's the details:

import iniparse
c = iniparse.ConfigParser()
c.read('/etc/yum.repos.d/broken-config.repo')

MissingSectionHeaderError: File contains no section headers.
file: /etc/yum.repos.d/broken-config.repo, line: 1
' [empty1]\n'



right now yum is treating a broken repo file as a fatal error, maybe it should not - looking at the history on this code.

You know what - I take that back - we have a place to step around this specific error in yum.

I've sent a patch upstream to yum to handle this specific issue.
