See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=988136 for the same problem with localinstall yum doesn't need to look at the network to do an erase, so you can do: yum --noplugins erase zimbra ...assigning to rhn-plugin to see if they can fix needing the network. Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request. |
Description of problem: When installing local packages via yum, it can be difficult to remove them if the network is down or entitlements have expired. For example, when installing Zimbra via yum localinstall, and then going to uninstall Zimbra, we get: zimbra-core...yum -y erase -v...Loading "rhnplugin" plugin Config time: 0.036 There was an error communicating with RHN. RHN Satellite or RHN Classic support will be disabled. Error Message: Service not enabled for system profile: "zqa-103.eng.vmware.com" Error Class Code: 31 Error Class Info: Setting up Remove Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package zimbra-core.x86_64 0:8.0.4_GA_5737.RHEL6_64-20130524120036 will be erased Checking deps for zimbra-core.x86_64 0:8.0.4_GA_5737.RHEL6_64-20130524120036 - e --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependency Process ending Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: epel. Please verify its path and try again We found we could finally get it erased by adding "--disable-repo=*" to the flags for yum erase. This should not be necessary for removing packages installed outside of the repo system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [build@zre-rhel6-64 ~]$ yum --version 3.2.2 How reproducible: Always given constraints above Steps to Reproduce: See above Actual results: Package removal failure Expected results: Package removal success
