RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.
Comment 4 Dennis Gregorovic 2010-04-22 22:15:15 UTC 
Looks like a couple different issues going on.

First, there's a bug in either yum or PackageKit, depending on how you look at it.  The lack of comps data should not cause a traceback in PackageKit.  So, either yum shouldn't throw the error or PackageKit should catch it.

Second, there _is_ comps data in the Beta 1 repos, so I don't know why yum isn't finding them here.  What's the output of "yum repolist"?
Comment 5 Raj Ramamoorthy 2010-04-22 22:25:24 UTC 
Unfortunately, I no longer have the RHEL 6 BETA available on my m/c. Had to revert back to RHEL 5.5.  The reported error popped up in a dialog when Add / Remove Software menu option is clicked. It does not prevent us from viewing other packages available. So some listing does occur.  But yum update or yum install failed consistently to fetch any item from ftp site. This install was for 64 bit version of RHEL 6 developer workstation done using the dvd iso image.
