Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 215078
yum rpm db hashing fails
Last modified: 2014-01-21 17:55:54 EST
Description of problem: The command: package-cleanup --problems fails with: Setting up yum Reading local RPM database Processing all local requires Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/package-cleanup", line 349, in ? main() File "/usr/bin/package-cleanup", line 346, in main provsomething = buildProviderList(my,pkgs,opts.problems) File "/usr/bin/package-cleanup", line 85, in buildProviderList resolve_sack = my.rpmdb.whatProvides(req,rflags,ver) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/rpmsack.py", line 364, in whatProvides morepkgs = self.searchFiles(name) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/rpmsack.py", line 103, in searchFiles if not result.has_key(pkg.pkgid): TypeError: list objects are unhashable Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.0-6 How reproducible: Always on one system (A), never on a second system (B) Steps to Reproduce: 1. As above. 2. 3. Actual results: It fails. Expected results: Problems should be reported, if any. Additional info: The issue is reported to yum and not yum-utils, because /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/rpmsack.py belongs to the first one. System (A) is FC5->FC6 upgraded system. The procedure was a "clean" DVD upgrade. The rpm db was (after the problem) rebuild, and yum, yum-utils, python-elementree re-installed. System (B) was upgraded also from FC5, but "live" (simple yum upgrade). Googling around shows that pythont2.4 introduced an exception, raised in certain case when list/tuples/db or whatever are converted into each other. My suspect is the the rpm db in (A) has some element which are not digested by the python code, unfortunately I was not able to find what (if any at all).
What version of yum-utils is installed on both? I can't see how this would happen at least from a quick look (and don't hit it with my laptop here)
Well, yum-utils should be the same (latest from Extras) on both PCs, that is yum-utils-1.0.1-1.fc6. As I mentioned, I googled for this "TypeError: list objects are unhashable" related to python, and it seems to be something introduced recently. Maybe you should look into this exception and, since I'm not a python expert, suggest me where and how could I track down the problem. I mean, I have no idea on how to debug this thing, eventually there is a way to know where exactly it fails, but I do not know. For example, running "python /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/rpmsack.py" alone produces the list of records of the rpm db, without errors. I guess, you confirm or not, this output is processed after and the error occurs or, if it occurs before, it may be due to some paramenters in this rpmsack.py (if any, I don't know). In other words, I'm ready to play with the python files, but I need some good suggestion on what to touch.
What's the output of 'rpm -V yum yum-utils'?
(In reply to comment #3) > What's the output of 'rpm -V yum yum-utils'? It's empty... The output of "rpm -Vv yum yum-utils" is as follow, even if the verbose mode does not seem to add anything more, but one never knows. ........ c /etc/logrotate.d/yum ........ /etc/yum ........ c

I'm having a similar problem on an FC6 system. Near as I can tell, it happened after I installed jikes from an RPM.

If this helps any, I have an old version of jikes installed: main /home/francis> yum list jikes Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Installed Packages jikes.i386 1.12-1 installed main /home/francis> And I have "jikes" in my excluded packages in the yum.conf file (I don't want a newer version). IIRC I installed jikes directly from an RPM and not from yum.
Removing jikes (rpm -e) make this problem go away.
This should be fixed for Fedora 7. Unfortunately, the fix is a little risky to backport to FC6
