Created attachment 348277 [details] cut&paste from konsole of attemting to run yum, w/ stack trace Description of problem: yum-3.2.23-3.fc10 crashes every time on launch from command line Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.2.23-3.fc10 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.launch yum, e.g execute yum list installed 2. 3. Actual results: yum crashes w/ stack trace, attached Expected results: yum lists installed software Additional info: The same exact thing happens running "yum clean all" "yum check update", "yum", etc., ie. same instantaneous crash and stack trace.
Wait - moving all plugins and their configs out of the way restores functionality to yum. Later this AM, I'll binary search my plugins to find the culprit.
no need - it's tmprepo. Why do you have almost EVERY plugin installed?
Well, I didn't exactly do binary search, simply reinstalled my yumm plugins one by one, which uncovered on anomaly and the buggy plugin. To wit: I worked through the plugins in my moved copy of /usr/lib/yum-plugins, doing: rpm -qf <whatever>.py yum-reinstall <result of prior rpm -qf> If that failed I manually did: yum remove <result of prior rpm -qf> yum install <result of prior command> The following discrepancies arose - before I had: yum-allowdowngrade.noarch 1.1.19-1.fc10 afterwards I had: yum-allowdowngrade.noarch 1.1.18-2.fc10 Installing yum-plugin-tmprepo causes crash!! I'll file a new bug for that plugin only.
WRT comment #2, believe it or not, I've used all of them at one time or other, some for ancient Fedora versions.
