Created attachment 363903 [details] terminal log during preupgrade getting boot and packages Description of problem: Noted some (seemingly non-critical) warnings spewed to terminal during preupgrade gui process. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-PAE-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686 preupgrade-1.1.0-1.fc11.noarch yum-3.2.23-3.fc11.noarch How reproducible: haven't tried. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install F11 2. update to current updates 3. start terminal and run preupgrade 4. choose show me dev releases, and select rawhide 5. next Actual results: 1. GError issues: /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sqlitecachec.py:45: Warning: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory. 2. traceback: File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/createrepo/__init__.py", line 829, in doRepoMetadata rp.getPrimary(complete_path, csum) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sqlitecachec.py", line 45, in getPrimary self.repoid)) TypeError: Parsing primary.xml error: attributes construct error Expected results: No errors.
yum 3.2.24 in f11 updates solves this problem.
Retested with: yum-3.2.24-2.fc11.noarch preupgrade-1.1.0-1.fc11.noarch The above warnings and traceback are no longer seen. The only unexpected message is warning for the future development... # preupgrade /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py:203: UserWarning: Use .preconf instead of passing args to _getConfig warnings.warn('Use .preconf instead of passing args to _getConfig') Loaded plugins: blacklist, refresh-packagekit, whiteout Detected in-progress upgrade to Rawhide preupgrade (mirrorlist) url: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=rawhide&arch=$basearch now: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=rawhide&arch=i386
Sorry to reopen but I've hit the same bug on F10; any plans to update F10 to yum-3.2.24?
you hit the same bug going f10->f11 or f10-rawhide/f12?
F10->Rawhide. Why? Is the problem caused by F10 yum having trouble with the repodata/package headers/etc from F12?
It's a package in f12/rawhide that's tripping up yum/createrepo.
Discussed with wwoods who suggested this might be good to note for users going from F10->rawhide using preupgrade. Adding the keyword so this lands on the CommonBugs? radar.
