Description of problem: I have 11 (out of about forty) packages that won't install, instead giving an "internal error". How reproducible: Will not install packages kdenetwork-{kopete, kppp, krdc, krfb, common, kdnssd, & associated *-libs. , all version 7:4.8.3-1.fc16 Since it seems to be a apper error I have reported this here not on the KDE system. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to install any of these updates 2. 3. Actual results: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py", line 2330, in _update_packages txmbr = self.yumbase.update(po=pkg) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 4571, in update updated_pkg = self.getInstalledPackageObject(updated) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 3563, in getInstalledPackageObject raise Errors.RpmDBError, _('Package tuple $s could not be found in rpmdb') $ str(pkgtup) RpmDBError: Package tuple ('kdenetwork-kget', 'x86_64', '7', '4.8.2', '1.fc16') could not be found in rpmdb
I'm curious if yum install <same_list_of_apps> would exhibit the same problem. Mind trying that?
I did it with just one app (having checked that apper still complained), kdenetwork-kget. Yum gives me Error: Package tuple ('kdenetwork-kget', 'x86_64', '7', '4.8.2', '1.fc16') could not be found in rpmdb To reiterate, I'm only accepting updates that apper tells me are waiting.
OK, you seem to have some low-level rpmdb problem. one tool that can help diagnose stuff like this is in 'yum-utils' pkg, package-cleanup. Run (as root): package-cleanup --problems which will help identify current rpm/yum db problems, like broken dependencies.
Running the package-cleanup command above gives me Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Package kdenetwork-kget-libs-4.8.2-1.fc16.x86_64 requires kdenetwork-kget = ('7', '4.8.2', '1.fc16') So I thought I'd first install kdenetwork-get (from apper). It tells me it needs the ...-libs, but if I try to install just the libs, it tells me it needs kdenetwork-get. I tried selecting *all* the kde-network related updates, but that didn't work either. This looks like some vicious circle problem and I have no idea how to resolve it.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
