Description of problem: After upgrading to latest rawhide (from rawhide of a few weeks ago) yum-fastestmirror breaks yum. The following message is displayed: [ifoox@localhost ~]$ yum info pydev Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in <module> yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 82, in main base.getOptionsConfig(args) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 159, in getOptionsConfig (opts, self.cmds) = self.optparser.setupYumConfig() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 1134, in setupYumConfig self.base.setupProgessCallbacks() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/output.py", line 322, in setupProgessCallbacks self.repos.setProgressBar(TextMeter(fo=sys.stdout)) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 497, in <lambda> repos = property(fget=lambda self: self._getRepos(), File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 348, in _getRepos self.plugins.run('postreposetup') File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/plugins.py", line 163, in run func(conduitcls(self, self.base, conf, **kwargs)) File "/usr/lib/yum-plugins/fastestmirror.py", line 83, in postreposetup_hook repo.urls = repomirrors[str(repo)] AttributeError: can't set attribute Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-fastestmirror-1.1.2-1.fc7 yum-3.1.7-1.fc7.noarch How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update to latest rawhide with yum-fastestmirror installed. 2. Run any yum command. 3. Witness breakage. 4. rpm -e yum-fastestmirror 5. Run any yum command 6. Witness bliss, albeit slowly. Actual results: Yum working. Expected results: Yum broken. Additional info: Cleaning cache and running either as normal user or su doesn't make a difference.
