From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Description of problem: After rawhide update and population of /etc/yum.repos.d/ by fedora-release-3-rawhide package, yum terminates immediately with no error message, regardless of debug level specified. Replacing the previously-working /etc/yum.conf with /etc/yum.conf.rpmnew (and preferably editing .repo file[s] to specify your favorite "baseurl[s]") makes yum functional again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.1.10-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum update 2. Note lack of effect 3. Actual Results: Immediate return with no error message. Expected Results: Updates should still work with a previously-working yum.conf present, or at least return an informative error message. Additional info:
the exitting w/o a message is a bug. And it's been fixed in cvs. However, you need to fix your config file. B/t the /etc/yum.conf and the entries in /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo you have a duplicate repository name.
Don't see "resolution/CVS" as an option below, so will close this when it gets to "RAWHIDE". Replacing yum.conf with yum.conf.rpmnew and editing fedora-devel.repo to point to my favorite repository, as hinted at above, fixed the duplicate entries for [development]. Thanks. Still seems like this update procedure will break user's configurations on FC2-FC3 upgrades. Perhaps yum.conf should be replaced, perhaps with a version with a few more comments on migrating to the yum.repos.d paradigm, and the original moved to yum.conf.rpmsave with a warning message.
resolving as rawhide.
