Hi Seth and all, I ran into this problem this morning on Red Hat 8.0 running yum 1.0, when trying to upgrade to Red Hat 9. It took me a while to figure out that the patch to fix this on 1.95 (from the fedora RPM) isn't the same patch that is needed to fix the same errors in yum 1.0, though the fedora nevralarch-dumb patch very nearly drops right into 1.0 (ok, you have to patch it manually, but it's obvious where it would go). Anyway, I diff'ed the nevral.py from the 3/21 daily against 1.0 for the attached patch. Seems to have worked (an upgrade is now in progress...I hope it isn't blowing up my desktop machine as we speak). Seth, do you reckon this patch covers everything that needs fixing in 1.0 to address this error without breaking other stuff? -- Joe Cooper <joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Web caching appliances and support. http://www.swelltech.com --------------000903030805060404000805 Content-Type: text/plain; name="yum-1.0-nevral-garbage.patch" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="yum-1.0-nevral-garbage.patch" --- yum-1.0.orig/nevral.py 2003-03-11 00:38:19.000000000 -0600 +++ yum-20030321/nevral.py 2003-03-20 23:23:14.000000000 -0600 @@ -260,8 +260,8 @@ log(4, 'Got Erase Dep: %s, %s' %(name,arch)) else: archlist = archwork.availablearchs(self,name) - arch = archwork.bestarch(archlist) - if arch != 'garbage': + if len(archlist) > 0: + arch = archwork.bestarch(archlist) ((e, v, r, a, l, i), s)=self._get_data(name,arch) self.add((name,e,v,r,arch,l,i),'ud') log(4, 'Got Extra Dep: %s, %s' %(name,arch)) --------------000903030805060404000805--
