This is a 2 part bugreport. First, the up2date which came with limbo2 didn't calculate the dependencies correctly when i tried to update some packages just now. Since i've got gstreamer-0.4.0 installed and that requires the rc3 version of vorbis-tools/libogg/libvorbis i specifically deselected those packages in the list. After calculating the dependencies it apparently ignored what i did and used those newer packages anyway, resulting in a conflict where gstreamer will not work with the 1.0 packages of ogg vorbis. Thinking this might be fixed in a newer version of up2date (rawhide), i downloaded & updated my up2date packages. I downloaded & installed the following packages: up2date-2.9.33-7.x.9.i386.rpm up2date-gnome-2.9.33-7.x.9.i386.rpm python-optik-1.3-2.noarch.rpm That last one is required by up2date. After succesfully updating the packages, i tried to run up2date again without success. It immediately returns with an error: [root@anduril Downloads]# up2date creating readOnlyTransaction Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 18, in ? from up2date_client import rpcServer File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rpcServer.py", line 7, in ? import up2dateAuth File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2dateAuth.py", line 4, in ? import rpmSource File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rpmSource.py", line 11, in ? import up2dateUtils File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2dateUtils.py", line 15, in ? import rpmUtils File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rpmUtils.py", line 221, in ? rpm_version = getRpmVersion() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rpmUtils.py", line 210, in getRpmVersion ts = transaction.initReadOnlyTransaction() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/transaction.py", line 25, in initReadOnlyTransaction read_ts.setVerifySigFlags(8) Perhaps i need to update another (python?) dependency, but i have no idea which one.
This sounds like bug 70852, though fixing the dependencies won't get this version of up2date to work.
rpm change broke this, should be fixed in 2.9.35 or so
Fix confirmed with up2date-2.9.45-1.
