Traceback trying to yum install source rpm.
Last modified: 2014-01-21 18:03:42 EST
Description of problem: I accidentally tried to yum install a source rpm instead of the binary rpm. It gave an error message, but then threw an exception. It should probably exit a little more gracefully than that. yum-3.2.17-2.fc9.noarch How reproducible: Very, try yum installing a source rpm. This is the stack trace and the step I took to produce the problem: [mbooth@sd devel]$ sudo yum install /home/mbooth/fedora-cvs/eclipse-phpeclipse/devel/eclipse-phpeclipse-1.2.0-1.fc10.src.rpm --nogpgcheck [sudo] password for mbooth: Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Examining /home/mbooth/fedora-cvs/eclipse-phpeclipse/devel/eclipse-phpeclipse-1.2.0-1.fc10.src.rpm: eclipse-phpeclipse-1.2.0-1.fc10.src Cannot add package /home/mbooth/fedora-cvs/eclipse-phpeclipse/devel/eclipse-phpeclipse-1.2.0-1.fc10.src.rpm to transaction.

We fixed yum to not install .src.rpm's in 3.2.17 at the latest, so this bug is fixed now.
Are you sure? That's the version I'm using and is the version that generates the traceback I posted above...
You're right, this is the fix (in upstream now): diff --git a/yum/__init__.py b/yum/__init__.py index 16a56b2..3e547f5 100644 --- a/yum/__init__.py +++ b/yum/__init__.py @@ -2672,7 +2672,7 @@ class YumBase(depsolve.Depsolve): # do this: but it's not a config file sort of thing if po.arch not in rpmUtils.arch.getArchList(): self.logger.critical(_('Cannot add package %s to transaction.

And this is available in 3.2.19
