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.

Fixed In Version: yum-3.2.29-18.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Prior to this update, when the "yum -q history addon-info last saved_tx" command was used to store transaction data in a file, an attempt to supply this file to the "yum load-transaction" command in order to repeat the transaction failed with an error, because the output contained extra lines. This update corrects the underlying source code to make sure the "yum -q history addon-info last saved_tx" command produces valid output, and adapts "yum load-transaction" to accept older version of the output as well.

Description Jaromir Hradilek 2011-08-04 14:05:39 UTC 
Description of problem:

When the "yum -q history addon-info last saved_tx" command is used to store transaction data in a file, an attempt to use the resulting file to repeat the transaction fails with an error, because the output contains extra lines.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-3.2.29-17.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the following command to save the latest transaction to a file:

   yum -q history addon-info last saved_tx > latest.yumtx

2. Copy the latest.yumtx file to a machine with identical transaction history, and attempt to repeat the saved transaction:

   yum load-transaction latest.yumtx

3. See the error message.
  
Actual results:
Error: rpmdb ver mismatched saved transaction version,  aborting.

Expected results:
The transaction stored in the file is repeated successfully.

Additional info:
None.
Comment 1 James Antill 2011-08-04 14:38:10 UTC 
Have two simple fixes that are upstream:

1. Produce just the load-ts data when someone runs "yum -q history addon-info saved_tx".

2. Accept the old output in load-ts.

...both are only a couple of lines of changes.
