From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.8.0.9) Gecko/20061219 Fedora/1.5.0.9-1.fc6 Firefox/1.5.0.9 pango-text Description of problem: I have been installing all of the updates as they become available. I have been able to update using yum, but the graphical interface does not work. Upon its crash, I was instructed to go to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla and file a report. Although I have seen this problem listed in Bugzilla, I have not seen it listed for the PPC. I am using a PowerBook G4, 1.33 GHz processor. I have also noticed this issue on a dual 1 GHz PowerMac G4. I have attempted to use the rm /var/lib/rpm/__db* and rpm --rebuilddb in the terminal. This fixed it yesterday night (01/24/2006), but it did not fix it this morning (01/25/2006) The following dump file was created on my PowerBook G4: 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 0x10713200> child: <Element 'packagereq' at 0x10713140> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): version 1.2.8 Release 1.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launched Software Update 2. Crash occured, giving me the above dump file. 3. Actual Results: The following message come up: Exception Occured An unhandled exception has occured. THis is most likely a bug. Please save the crash dump and file a detailed bug report against Software Updater at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla It then gave the contents of the dump file, as seen above. Expected Results: I expected to have a list of updates, or at least a message saying no updates were requried/fould. Additional info:
exactly the same exception to software updater and same package info being retrieved (digikam) on my fc6 i386 or i686 running on an HP AMD 64 live (not running 64 bit version)
One more dup of bug 224292
Maybe "genre: optinoal" is not perfectly correc ? ;-)
same CompsException during update in YUM Extender
