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.
