Created attachment 347783 [details] yum output with debug 9 Description of problem: yum-changelog crashes yum Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-utils-1.1.22-1.fc11.noarch How reproducible: intermittent Steps to Reproduce: 1. sed -i 's/^always=false/always=true/' /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/changelog.conf 2. yum -d 9 update man pango gtk2 libv4l rsync 3. Actual results: see attached Expected results: I read the changelog. Additional info: using --disableplugin=changelog results in success. Also this is a LiveCD install from ~2wks ago so some of the updates are comming from the fedora.repo these seem to succeed where {updates/testing}.repo seem to fail. I've attached a good run from the fedora.repo also.

OK it looks like the repos have nothing to do with it and its at the package level because this works 100%: yum -d 9 update man pango gtk2 libv4l cups see attached log. The rsync package is causing yum-changelog to fail.

This is the update info problem in Fedora (updateinfo.xml is invalid, containing entries without id's). We've changed upstream to work around it, feel free to apply: http://yum.baseurl.org/gitweb?p=yum.git;a=commitdiff;h=4ec72c0bf27474c61d4295576b59fc95030e547c ...manually, or wait for Fedora to fix their updateinfo (or for a new yum to appear in Fed-11 updates-testing, whichever is sooner).
