I'm guessing that when you got the new URL for the repo. the repomd.xml was older than the existing one ... so yum ignored it due to the "I must have hit an older mirror" code. Do the spacewalk repos. uses mirrors, or just a single baseurl? Do the spacewalk repos. use distro. tags that are different between Fed-14/EL6? (repolist -v). In fact can just just paste the repo. definition? They use a single baseurl: [spacewalk] name=Spacewalk baseurl=http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/1.4/RHEL/6/$basearch/ gpgkey=http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-spacewalk-2010 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 and [spacewalk] name=Spacewalk baseurl=http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/1.4/Fedora/14/$basearch/ gpgkey=http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-spacewalk-2010 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 Sample package names: spacewalk-postgresql-1.3.3-1.fc14.noarch.rpm spacewalk-postgresql-1.3.3-1.el6.noarch.rpm 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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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: yum fails to recognize the distro type changed between the cache and the online repo after a repo correction Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.28-5.fc14 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. installed el6 spacewalk repo from yum on f14 system by mistake 2. yum install spacewalk-postgresql 3. yum install fails due to wrong (newer) python environment installed 4. yum remove spacewalk-repo; yum install correct spacewalk-repo 5. yum install spacewalk-postgresql still fails as new repo has same name and package names have same version BUT differ at the distro level. Actual results: Error: Package: spacewalk-backend-sql-1.4.39-1.el6.noarch (spacewalk) Requires: python(abi) = 2.6 Installed: python-2.7-8.fc14.1.x86_64 (@anaconda-InstallationRepo-201010211827.x86_64) python(abi) = 2.7 Available: python3-3.1.2-14.fc14.i686 (fedora) python(abi) = 3.1 ... Expected results: expected yum to recognize the packages in cache were NOT the same and re-download as required. Expect yum to give an error about incorrect release or version mismatch. Additional info: yum clean all solves problem.
