Description adam winberg 2011-03-09 09:55:41 UTC 
Description of problem:
I have a number of self-generated yum repos and when i update (re-indexing) them and then try to run "pkcon refresh" i get the following error:

The transaction failed: no-more-mirrors-to-try, failure: repodata/filelists.xml.gz from smhi: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

(This also happens if i try the same thing in the gui)

If i instead run "yum update" or "yum makecache" then packagekit metadata is updated fine via the yum refresh-packagekit plugin. 

Because of this no updated packages are available via PackageKit until yum has been run before. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
PackageKit-0.5.8-13.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add/remove package in yum repo and re-index
2. Run "pkcon refresh"
3.
  
Actual results:
Pkcon throws an error. 

Expected results:
PackageKit should refresh its metadata.

Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Can you attach the repomd.xml file for the smhi repo please.

Comment 5 Richard Hughes 2011-08-18 10:47:49 UTC 
Hmm, that looks fine (old style, but fine nonetheless) -- can you grab me the output of:

sudo NETWORK=TRUE /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py refresh-cache true

Thanks.

Richard.

Comment 7 Richard Hughes 2011-08-19 08:26:20 UTC 
Okay, thanks for that. It seems the refresh cache is working correctly, so that narrows it down to one of the refresh cache actions PackageKit is doing. This is a little trickier to debug:

First, run "pkmon"

Verify that no background tasks are executing, if they are wait patiently.

sudo killall packagekitd
sudo /usr/sbin/packagekitd --verbose --backend=yum --disable-timer

Then, run "pkcon refresh"

Then please attach *all* the output from the daemon, including the setup stuff. Thanks.

Richard.

I have an outstanding request on this, but cant reproduce it anymore. So as far as i'm concerned, you can close this bug.
