Description of problem ---------------------- After removing a version-lock entry with the command: # yum versionlock delete <entry-wildcard> it becomes no more possible to run "yum ceck-update" as a normal user. This is because the reading permissions of the versionlock.list file have been removed. Version-Release number of selected component -------------------------------------------- yum-3.2.29-30.el6.noarch yum-plugin-versionlock-1.1.30-14.el6.noarch Steps to Reproduce ------------------ 1. Check the permission of versionlock.list: # ls -l /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 36 Sep 10 11:04 /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list 2. Verify that they are the right ones: # rpm -V yum-plugin-versionlock S.5....T. c /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list 3. Remove a version-lock entry: # yum versionlock delete 0:mdadm-3.2.2-9.el6.* Loaded plugins: aliases, changelog, downloadonly, fastestmirror, filter-data, : list-data, post-transaction-actions, presto, priorities, : refresh-packagekit, remove-with-leaves, security, show-leaves, : tmprepo, verify, versionlock Deleting versionlock for: 0:mdadm-3.2.2-9.el6.* 4. Check the permission of versionlock.list again: # ls -l /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list -rw-------. 1 root root 36 Sep 10 11:04 /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list Actual results -------------- If you try to run "yum check-update" as a normal user you get the following error message: Unable to read version lock configuration: [Errno 14] Could not open/read file:///etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list Expected results ---------------- As a normal user, I should be able to run "yum check-update" as like as most yum "query" commands. Workaround ---------- # chmod a+r /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list after any "yum versionlock delete ..." but is annoying.
