First PC was Athlon 64 3000 single core running Core 6 64 bit. Now seems to have fixed itself? But now getting same exact error on second PC which is Athlon 64 3800 dual core running Core 6 32 bit. Strange? Both have 2 GB RAM and dual 250 GB SATA II 3.0 drives. Both also have nVidia 7600GS graphics cards with latest nVidia drivers from Livna. Both were updated sucessfully with all latest software updates earlier today.
There's a way to manually solve this problem (it seems). Open the terminal and log in as root. # rm /var/lib/rpm/__db* answer yes to all questions (y + Return). # rpm --rebuilddb # yum -y update if the update through yum works, it should through pup (graphic update manager) too.
Now getting same exact error on third PC which is a Duron 1.8 with ATI graphics. Something definately wrong here?
Juan Deleted and rebuilt the RPM DB as you suggested. # yum -y update then ran fine. But Pup (Software Updater) still crashes and generates same error file? Terry
All three of my PC's now working again. Seems like if you just let them set for about a half hour they fix themselves. Really Strange? Terry
Since yesterday (after update of number of packages), I have recieved the same error as in comment #2 when running graphic update (or add/remove) manager. I rebuild rpm db as suggested by kalaka in comment #4, but I still cannot run graphic manager. From command line, I can run yum update without error. I use x86_32 FC6 instead of 64bit. Miro
I believe I have the same problem as #2. bug report text follows: Component: Software Updater Summary: TB8a9160cb comps.py:143:parse_package_list:CompsException Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/pup", line 659, in ? main() File "/usr/sbin/pup", line 655, in main pup.run() File "/usr/sbin/pup", line 494, in run self.doRefresh() File "/usr/sbin/pup", line 269, in doRefresh self.reposSetup(pbar) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pirut/__init__.py", line 153, in reposSetup self.doGroupSetup() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 408, in doGroupSetup self.comps.add(groupfile) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/comps.py", line 339, in add group = Group(elem) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/comps.py", line 57, in __init__ self.parse(elem) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/comps.py", line 133, in parse self.parse_package_list(child) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/comps.py", line 143, in parse_package_list raise CompsException CompsException Local variables in innermost frame: genre: optinoal self: Graphics package: digikam packagelist_elem: <Element 'packagelist' at 0xa2d8068> child: <Element 'packagereq' at 0xa2cff68>
Reply to comment #8 After rebooting OS, I can run graphic update. Seems there was some old cache even after rpm --rebuilddb ... For me, problem is solved.
