I inadvertently listed this as a redhat-rpm-config issue; it is a redhat-config-packages issue I apologize Can you give an exact steps to reproduce this? I haven't seen it myself I'm sorry, but I don't know how to be more specific than I was. This occurred on both of my Red Hat 8.0 installations, a Linux Hardware Solutions 1998 collage of hardware, and my IBM T-series 1.2GHz laptop (a 2001 collage of hardware). It has been consistently and reliably produced by going through the menus in the usual way, as I indicated in my first post. I have not compared the screen output from trial to trial. What other information would be helpful? Could I run a query of any sort and send you the output? If you need access to either machine, Michael K Johnson can provide it. I've had the same problem as described here. redhat-config-packages crashes before displaying list of available packages. To reproduce this, I do not touch the mouse or keyboard after invoking the command from the shell. $ redhat-config-packages Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":0.0". Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/MainWindow.py", line 163, in ? comps = im.readCompsViaMethod(hdlist, progress.update) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/method.py", line 488, in readCompsViaMethod update_method = update_method) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/comps.py", line 387, in __init__ self.readCompsFile(file, self.packages) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/comps.py", line 471, in readCompsFile self.setupStateDicts(packages) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/comps.py", line 420, in setupStateDicts for prov in h[rpm.RPMTAG_PROVIDES]: TypeError: iteration over non-sequence I have had this same problem on my Sony VAIO FXA-36 laptop, while trying to install relatively insignificant packages with complicated sets of interdependencies (without a lot of interdependencies, it is still easier to use rpm) after the original install of 8.0. Config-packages trashed my installation to the point where I had to do a new install from the CD. It occurred following an upgrade from 7.3, and I wondered if it was the result of a poor upgrade. On other machines of mine, I have handled the redhat-config-packages program with kid gloves. just signing up for cc Yeah, I've watched the system threads while executing redhat-config-packages in 8.0. It exits out as soon as it calls on python. Rpm still works from the terminal,though; I've just fallen back on that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 70972 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
