i figured out what caused the problem. earlier today i installed the mozilla .src.rpm for testing using redhat-config-packages. this seems to have replaced the .i386.rpm in the rpm database because when i ran `rpm -q --provides mozilla` it gave me an empty list. i uninstalled and re-installed all of the mozilla .i386.rpm's and the problem went away. should it be possible to install .src.rpm's using redhat-config-packages? No, rpmlib wasn't acting how I expected it to. Fixed in CVS so that you can't run into that problem anymore (both by verifying that there are provides before iterating over them and not allowing the installation of src.rpms so that they end up in the rpmdb) Long fixed, RH 8 not supported, and magicdev and s-c-p aren't shipped anymore. (Pirut replaced s-c-p.) Closing. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: when starting redhat-config-packages from the command line it crashes with python traceback error. this did not happen when i first installed redhat 8.0. i don't know what changed to make this error happen. the traceback that python spits out follows: -------- STARTS HERE -------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/MainWindow.py", line 163, in ? comps = im.readCompsViaMethod(hdlist, progress.update) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/method.py", line 488, in readCompsViaMethod update_method = update_method) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/comps.py", line 387, in __init__ self.readCompsFile(file, self.packages) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/comps.py", line 471, in readCompsFile self.setupStateDicts(packages) File "/usr/share/redhat-config-packages/comps.py", line 420, in setupStateDicts for prov in h[rpm.RPMTAG_PROVIDES]: TypeError: iteration over non-sequence -------- ENDS HERE -------- i hope this helps. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. type redhat-config-packages on the command line 2. hit enter 3. watch it crash :) Actual Results: the app crashed.
