yum-security generates Python traceback while updating tetex
Last modified: 2008-03-11 08:45:29 EDT
Description of problem: Ran "yum --security update" to try out yum-security for the first time after installing it. Got the following errors. Subsequently did the update without the --security option with no problems. [root@localhost ~]# yum --security update Loading "presto" plugin Loading "security" plugin Setting up and reading Presto delta metadata No Presto metadata available for livna No Presto metadata available for adobe-linux-i386 No Presto metadata available for updates No Presto metadata available for dribble No Presto metadata available for fedora Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies Limiting packages to security relevant ones updateinfo.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 128 kB 00:00 Needed 6 of 82 packages, for security --> Running transaction check ---> Package tetex-fonts.i386 0:3.0-44.3.fc8 set to be updated ---> Package tetex-xdvi.i386 0:3.0-44.3.fc8 set to be updated ---> Package tetex-latex.i386 0:3.0-44.3.fc8 set to be updated ---> Package tetex-dvips.i386 0:3.0-44.3.fc8 set to be updated ---> Package tetex-afm.i386 0:3.0-44.3.fc8 set to be updated ---> Package tetex.i386 0:3.0-44.3.fc8 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: dialog for package: tetex 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 146, in main (result, resultmsgs) = base.buildTransaction() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 574, in buildTransaction (rescode, restring) = self.resolveDeps() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py", line 713, in resolveDeps CheckDeps, checkinstalls, checkremoves, missing = self._resolveRequires(errors) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py", line 795, in _resolveRequires (checkdep, missing, errormsgs) = self._processReq(po, dep) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py", line 249, in _processReq CheckDeps, missingdep = self._requiringFromTransaction(po, requirement, errormsgs) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py", line 501, in _requiringFromTransaction reqpkg = self.rpmdb.searchNevra(name=name, ver=version, rel=release)[0] IndexError: list index out of range [root@localhost ~]# Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-security-1.1.8-1.fc8 How reproducible: don't know, probably always
what version of yum are you using here?
yum-3.2.7-1.fc8 I was fully updated before the latest batch of updates which didn't include yum, so it was the same version when running "yum --security update".
is this still happening or reproducible on yum 3.2.8 in f8?
Note that I'm using presto, which I later found doesn't provide the security metadata, so I stopped trying to use --security after that, so don't know. But it's possible that my problem was due to some kind of bad interaction with presto.
okay, I'm going to to close this bug for now. If you find out that's not true, re-open this bug or open a new one. thanks
