From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/7.54 (X11; SunOS sun4u; U) [en] Description of problem: yum-2.2.0 accesses the web or proxy server in >>clean<< mode (also even if >>- C<< is used) and reports: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base if a) you use --enable-repo=base b) there is no proxy / no web available this did not happen in yum-2.1.12-0.fc3 (prev version). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.2.0-0.fc3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. # ftp_proxy="http://nosuchserver:8080" \ http_proxy="http://nosuchserver:8080" \ https_proxy="http://nosuchserver:8080" \ yum -y -C clean packages Cleaning up Packages 0 packages removed 2. # ftp_proxy="http://nosuchserver:8080" \ http_proxy="http://nosuchserver:8080" \ https_proxy="http://nosuchserver:8080" \ yum -y -C --enablerepo=base clean packages Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base Actual Results: after 1: all ok -- no web access. after 2: yum tries to access the web. in this demo-case via an invalid proxy. it reports that it cannot find the baseurl. Expected Results: it is correct that yum is not able to find the baseurl. but it should at least continue cleaning the packages and tread that as a warning instead an error. the packages should be cleaned. Additional info: yum did not report and error and cleaned the packages in yum-2.1.12-0.fc3 (prev version).
this should be fixed in recent versions of yum - closing as errata
