From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20021120 Netscape/7.01 Description of problem: up2date -u fails to run and produces the following error report: sudo up2date -u Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 934, in ? main() File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 666, in main fullUpdate, dryRun=options.dry_run)) File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 835, in batchRun batch.run() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2dateBatch.py", line 57, in run self.__findPackagesToUpdate() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2dateBatch.py", line 88, in __findPackagesToUpdate plist.run() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/packageList.py", line 89, in run self.addObsoletePackages(obsList) File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/packageList.py", line 141, in addObsoletePackages for p in obsoletePackages: TypeError: iteration over non-sequence Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.sudo up2date -u 2. 3. Actual Results: The error message pasted in the Description field is consistently produced every time up2date is run Expected Results: It should have gone to the RH site, determined what RPMs needed to be updated, downloaded them and installed them. Additional info: The GUI updater fails as well, but it doesn't produce any error messages. It just sits there forever doing nothing.
Version of up2date is 3.0.42
When I tried to get the version of up2date, I got the following errors: up2date --version (up2date:1389): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.2.0/engines/libredmond95.so: undefined symbol: gtk_rc_style_get_type (up2date:1389): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1315 (g_object_unref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
3.0.42 is pretty old. Do newer versions from later betas show the same problem?
I wasn't aware there was a newer one. I fetched and installed 3.1.17-1 just now and then tried to run it: Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.2.0/engines/libredmond95.so: undefined symbol: gtk_rc_style_get_type Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 992, in ? main() File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 719, in main fullUpdate, dryRun=options.dry_run)) File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 892, in batchRun batch.run() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2dateBatch.py", line 57, in run self.__findPackagesToUpdate() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2dateBatch.py", line 88, in __findPackagesToUpdate plist.run() File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/packageList.py", line 88, in run self.addObsoletePackages(obsList) File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/packageList.py", line 116, in addObsoletePackages for p in obsoletePackages: TypeError: iteration over non-sequence Because of the library error, I ran ldconfig and then tried to run up2date -u again: [root@utd49554 root]# ldconfig [root@utd49554 root]# up2date -u Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 992, in ? main() File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 719, in main fullUpdate, dryRun=options.dry_run)) File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 892, in batchRun batch.run() File "up2dateBatch.py", line 57, in run File "up2dateBatch.py", line 88, in __findPackagesToUpdate File "packageList.py", line 88, in run File "packageList.py", line 116, in addObsoletePackages TypeError: iteration over non-sequence
The problem here is the server is not subscribed to a base channel. Please go the to rhn website and assign the server to a channel Also, currently versions report a more useful error in this case.
