yumdownloader doesn't work properly as non-root
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:19 EST
When running as non-root and all package headers not in local cache, yumdownloader fails: $ sudo yum clean headers Cleaning up Headers 170 headers removed $ yumdownloader --urls --resolve nethack Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yumdownloader", line 130, in ? main() File "/usr/bin/yumdownloader", line 102, in main my.resolveDeps() File "depsolve.py", line 211, in resolveDeps File "depsolve.py", line 169, in populateTs File "__init__.py", line 676, in downloadHeader yum.Errors.RepoError: Header not in local cache and caching-only mode enabled. Cannot download nethack-3.4.3-3.fc4.i386.rpm $ rpm -q yum yum-utils yum-2.4.1-1.fc4 yum-utils-0.3.1-1.fc4 This seems to work ok in devel with yum 2.5.0 and my patched yumdownloader from bug 175335.
FC3 and FC4 have now been EOL'd. Please check the ticket against a current Fedora release, and either adjust the release number, or close it if appropriate. Thanks. Your friendly BZ janitor :-)
This has been fixed in later yum/yum-utils versions.
