Description of problem: With up2date-2.7.61-7.x.2 on one particular client all invocations of `up2date` yield a traceback with 'bad marshal data' during one of the imports. What does this indicate as the likely problem and solution? Google seems to indicate corrupted python modules; reinstall up2date client? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. up2date Actual Results: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 24, in ? from up2date_client import lilocfg File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/lilocfg.py", line 14, in ? import lilo, iutil File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/lilo.py", line 13, in ? import iutil ValueError: bad marshal data Additional info:
hmm, could be. Whats `rpm -V up2date` show? Have never seen that error before, and the iutil module hasnt changed in months. So corrupt files seems as likely as anything...
rpm -ivh --force fixed it. Didn't get rpm -V output before that, sorry. Will close.
