Description Michael Ploujnikov 2009-06-18 15:40:57 UTC
Description of problem:
Running 'yum verify' crashes with an error about some UID not being found.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-3.2.23-3.fc11.noarch
yum-plugin-verify-1.1.22-1.fc11.noarch
ypbind-1.20.4-19.fc11.i586

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. $ yum verify
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
$ yum verify
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, refresh-packagekit, security, verify
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/packages.py:1484: DeprecationWarning: os.popen3 is deprecated.  Use the subprocess module.
  (ig, fp,er) = os.popen3([prelink_cmd, "-y", fn])
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in <module>
    yummain.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True)
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 309, in user_main
    errcode = main(args)
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 178, in main
    result, resultmsgs = base.doCommands()
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 352, in doCommands
    return self.yum_cli_commands[self.basecmd].doCommand(self, self.basecmd, self.extcmds)
  File "/usr/lib/yum-plugins/verify.py", line 355, in doCommand
    self.show_data(base, msg, ypl.installed, 'Installed Packages')
  File "/usr/lib/yum-plugins/verify.py", line 285, in show_data
    for (pkg, results) in self.filter_data(msg, pkgs):
  File "/usr/lib/yum-plugins/verify.py", line 206, in filter_data
    oresults = pkg.verify(patterns=self._filename_globs, all=self.all)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/packages.py", line 1389, in verify
    my_user  = pwd.getpwuid(my_st[stat.ST_UID])[0]
KeyError: 'getpwuid(): uid not found: 492'

yum does not continue after this point.

Expected results:
I expect yum to handle the missing uid gracefully and continue verifying the files as usual.

Additional info:
My system is connected to a corporate NIS server with ypbind.
