Yep, thanks for finding this, bad backport ... the RHEL-5 yum doesn't have yumdb_info, yet. Easy fix, just remove those three lines: if 'from_repo' in ipkg.yumdb_info: xmsg = ipkg.yumdb_info.from_repo xmsg = _(' (from %s)') % xmsg ...I did a quick grep and that's the only hit I get for yumdb.
yum-3.2.22-24.el5 is building as: http://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=2229592
Works fine. Tested. Thanks, James!
