Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 103645
"up2date -i ntp" crashes with python errors about deps?
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:57:20 EDT
Did minimal install of RedHat 9.0.93 (severn). updated RHN cert, imported RedHat GPG key, rhnreg_ks to my enterprise account, set channel subscription to 9.0.93 upates. did full up2date -u (worked only after changing "useGPG=1" to "useGPG=0" ) up2date -i rpmdb-redhat (it worked) did up2date -p (it worked) did rpm -qa (it worked) did up2date -i ntp (it died with many python traceback errors about object type dependencies) up2date -l, up2date -u, and up2date -p all work fine, I can even install other packages with up2date -i, just not ntp.... I used freshrpms apt-get to install a RedHat 9 ntp rpm, which also fetched the libcap dependency. Then I did up2date -u and it upgraded both libpcap and ntp to the 9.0.93 version... Version-Release number of selected component: up2date-3.9.20-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Minimal install of 9.0.93 2. Update RHN CERT, import RedHat GPG key, Register with RHN, subscribe to 9.0.93 updates channel, up2date -u 3. up2date -i ntp (this produces up2date crash with python trace errors) Expected Results: up2date either successfully fetches ntp and libcap, or up2date produces human readable errors (not "programmer readable" but "human readable") explaining why the transaction did not work. I mean heck maybe the NTP rpm is corrupt and it isn't an issue with up2date? But how would I know that? Additional info: I also tried troubleshooting the problem by doing rm -rf /var/spool/up2date/* rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.00* and then trying "up2date -i ntp" again, but it didn't help.
up2date -i kdebase also fails with similar error messages. up2date -i tftp works just fine. The exact output of up2date -i kdebase is: [root@bens-test root]# up2date -i kdebase Fetching package list for channel: redhat-linux-severn-i386-9.0.93... ######################################## Fetching package list for channel: redhat-linux-severn-i386-9.0.93-updates... ######################################## Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: redhat-linux-severn-i386-9.0.93...
