What's the output of 'rpm -q pirut yum'?
pirut-1.2.8-1.fc6 yum-3.0.3-1.fc6
This is fixed with the pirut and yum currently in FC6 updates
There do not appear to be newer version of pirut nor yum in the FC6 updates because when I run the Software Updater (pup), it reports: +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Package Updater | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Package Updater | | | | | | There are no updated packages currently | | available for your system. | | | | | | [Quit] | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ and if I attempt to update pirut and yum using yum, it reports: # yum update pirut yum Loading "installonlyn" plugin Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running. Aborting. [root@elijah andy]# yum update pirut yum Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Could not find update match for pirut Could not find update match for yum No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion
ps. You may safely ignore the first of the two runs of yum above because pup was running when I ran it. Also, I am using the fedora-updates repository: # ls /etc/yum.repos.d fedora-core.repo fedora-legacy.repo fedora-development.repo fedora-updates.repo fedora-extras-development.repo fedora-updates-testing.repo fedora-extras.repo
Whoops, thought you were on Fedora 7. We should be catching the cases where a mirror isn't up to date there. Given where FC6 is in its lifetime, updating to try to fix all of the possible cases there is more likely to break things than it is to help.
