What's the output of rpm -q yum and rpm -V yum?
Got the same problem when, after a fresh install of Fedora 8, I tried the package manager in applications menu in Gnome. "yum update" works ok. I had to hand-install, among others, kde: no mean feat for an amateur, with rpm and the help of http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ (I wouldn't know of any other way to find not-installed packages which provide the necessary dependencies; tip anyone?). I don't know how I missed installing kde during the installation. If it was meant to be that way by anaconda, or whatever, to not give the opportunity to have kde instead of that terrible gnome desktop (sorry, again confirmed this time), I am shocked, dear Fedora/Red Hat. Apart from the several great gnome programs I happily use. And all the rest, of course, great fun the last 9 years with Red Hat/Fedora. And then in kde the same as above with "add/remove software", with exactly the same debug-file I had in gnome. Output rpm -q yum: yum-3.2.7-1.fc8 Output rpm -V yum: S.5....T c /etc/yum.conf (consciously changed) I did "yum clean all" somewhere along the way Debug file: Component: pirut Summary: TBd43f5314 misc.py:306:newestInList:AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'EVR' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/pirut", line 476, in <module> main() File "/usr/sbin/pirut", line 472, in main pm.run() File "/usr/sbin/pirut", line 405, in run self._showBrowse() File "/usr/sbin/pirut", line 317, in _showBrowse grpsel.doRefresh() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pirut/GroupSelector.py", line 514, in doRefresh self._setupCatchallCategory() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pirut/GroupSelector.py", line 491, in _setupCatchallCategory if g.user_visible and _groupHasPackages(g, self.ayum): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pirut/GroupSelector.py", line 140, in _groupHasPackages pkgs = ayum.rpmdb.returnNewestByName(p) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/rpmsack.py", line 196, in returnNewestByName return misc.newestInList(allpkg) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/misc.py", line 306, in newestInList if pkg.EVR > newest.EVR: AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'EVR' Local variables in innermost frame: newest: ('ghostscript', 'i386', '0', '8.60', '5.fc8') pkg: ('ghostscript', 'x86_64', '0', '8.60', '5.fc8') ret: [('ghostscript', 'i386', '0', '8.60', '5.fc8')] pkgs: [('ghostscript', 'x86_64', '0', '8.60', '5.fc8')] (Apart my frustration whenever I encounter the gnome-desktop, many thanks to all of you with "Fedora/Red Hat" for the now 9 years of great fun.)

After a yum update today of (amongst many others) pirut to pirut - 1.3.28-1.fc8.noarch, I tried the package manager with success. At least, pirut refrained from protesting. ;-) Thanks, Jan Schabbink
