If additional information is needed please give instructions on how to get, where to get it,and what is needed. Thanks

Comment 2 Tim Lauridsen 2010-06-01 15:18:20 UTC
Why are you running the rhnplugin, it don't do you much good in fedora, it is for RHEL. Please disable it and try again.

Dont yum work at the command line (Try 'yum list updates' as root)

ok if I run 'yum --disableplugin= rhnplugin' without the quotes and as root it doesn't get disabled.

> Dont yum work at the command line (Try 'yum list updates' as root)    

yum does work from cli. I ran yum upgrade before I posted this bug and it did that. I can run software updater (PackageKit, PUP, or Pirut... What ever it's called in F12) without errors also.

Comment 4 Tim Lauridsen 2010-06-06 10:21:56 UTC
could you please try running 'yumex -d --debuglevel=9'

I just removed the RHN plugin and Yumex is working again. This can be closed. 
If you want to find why it is killing Yumex with the RHN plugin just install the plugin and try launching Yumex.

Comment 6 Tim Lauridsen 2010-06-07 15:58:00 UTC
where have you got the RHN plugin from ?, it is not part of fedora, but part of RHEL.

I have attached screen shots of what yumex tells me I have for repos and where yumex shows the repo from. If you need me to run a command to help find the actual way I got the rhnplugin as an available package or something let me know.

Comment 10 Tim Lauridsen 2010-06-08 16:24:50 UTC
ok, I see, there is a rhn-plugin in fedora, to use against custom RHN server.
I will check it out to see why it fails with yumex

fix yum-rhn-plugin issue, with a blank OptionParser object from yum

Comment 12 Tim Lauridsen 2010-06-09 14:48:51 UTC
I have added a proposed to the rnh-plugin, to not blow up running with a yum api user like yumex.

Comment 13 Miroslav Suchý 2010-06-14 14:49:04 UTC
Fixed in spacewalk.git in commit f3fbab86131955dfc5fc162aed47c8da474f0e5c
