Description of problem: When running any PK-related command (pkcon, gpk-update-viewer, gpk-application) I get this stacktrace: [matej@viklef ~]$ pkcon get updates [......===.................................................] [..........................................===.............] Error: internal-error : Error Type: <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'> Error Value: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'cacheonly' File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/get-updates.py , line 19, in <module> backend.get_updates(filter) File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py , line 1205, in get_updates ygl = self.yumbase.doPackageLists(pkgnarrow='updates') File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py , line 1372, in doPackageLists for (n,a,e,v,r) in self.up.getUpdatesList(): File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py , line 591, in <lambda> up = property(fget=lambda self: self._getUpdates(), File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py , line 476, in _getUpdates self._up = rpmUtils.updates.Updates(self.rpmdb.simplePkgList(), self.pkgSack.simplePkgList()) File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py , line 578, in <lambda> pkgSack = property(fget=lambda self: self._getSacks(), File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py , line 421, in _getSacks self.repos.populateSack(which=repos) File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/repos.py , line 217, in populateSack self.doSetup() File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/repos.py , line 67, in doSetup self.ayum.plugins.run('postreposetup') File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/plugins.py , line 175, in run func(conduitcls(self, self.base, conf, **kwargs)) File : /usr/lib/yum-plugins/fastestmirror.py , line 133, in postreposetup_hook if opts.cacheonly: get-updates runtime was 54.5 seconds [matej@viklef ~]$ When running yum clean all (thought that I may have some junk in metadata) I got this error message "Configuration file /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror-asyncore.conf not found" (which doesn't make much sense, because /usr/lib/yum-plugins/fastestmirror-asyncore.py speaks only about /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf). When changing enabled=1 to enabled=0 in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf PK-related packages work. Without it, they don't Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-utils-1.1.14-1.fc9.noarch PackageKit-0.1.12-12.20080520.fc9.i386 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.make sure fastestmirror is enabled 2.pkcon get updates 3. Actual results: collect stacktrace Expected results: get a list of available updates Additional info: yum itself with all its commands works correctly.
