Description of problem: When trying to preupgrading from F10 to rawhide, preupgrade kept failing with the following stack trace. Hopefully it isn't because I am using the F10 version, because that would suck. Trace is here: ============== <snip> --> Missing Dependency: libssl.so.7 is needed by package libflashsupport-000-0.5.svn20070904.i386 (installed) libflashsupport-000-0.5.svn20070904.i386 from installed has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: libcrypto.so.7 is needed by package libflashsupport-000-0.5.svn20070904.i386 (installed) dejavu-sans-fonts-2.29-4.fc12.noarch from preupgrade has depsolving problems --> dejavu-sans-fonts conflicts with dejavu-fonts Downloading 1.5GB Available disk space for /var/cache/yum/preupgrade: 24.6GB Upgrade requires 500.0MB Available disk space for /usr: 23.1GB Generating metadata for preupgrade repo Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 238, in on_assistant_apply self._do_main() File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 257, in _do_main self.main_preupgrade() File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 545, in main_preupgrade callback=MDGenCallback(pbar=self.progress)) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/preupgrade/__init__.py", line 651, in generate_repo misc.generate_repodata(dir,comps,callback) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/preupgrade/misc.py", line 131, in generate_repodata generate_repodata(dir, comps, callback) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/preupgrade/misc.py", line 147, in generate_repodata_f9 mdgen.doPkgMetadata() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/createrepo/__init__.py", line 332, in doPkgMetadata self.writeMetadataDocs(packages) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/createrepo/__init__.py", line 472, in writeMetadataDocs self.primaryfile.write(po.xml_dump_primary_metadata()) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/packages.py", line 1014, in xml_dump_primary_metadata msg += misc.to_unicode(self._dump_base_items()) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/packages.py", line 847, in _dump_base_items (csum_type, csum, csumid) = self.checksums[0] IndexError: list index out of range Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): preupgrade-1.1.0-1.fc10.noarch How reproducible: very Steps to Reproduce: 1. run preupgrade 2. watch it download 2.1 GB of packages 3. watch it dump a stack trace Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
