I have same symptoms but a slightly different traceback. Is it worth opening a
separate bug?
[root@fraser RPMS]# up2date

To the first poster: This is a known bug, to be fixed in a forthcoming errata version. Until then, you can get around the bug by turning off the option to "retrieve all packages" or by not using the "-a" command line option. To the second user: you are using a beta version of up2date on 7.0 (or on Fisher/Wolverine). This problem is only in the beta version, and has been corrected internally. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18994 *** |
