Well I still have this issue however I have been able to workout some things: I disabled the use of sqlite.bz2 data from the repo's by modifying the yumRepo.py file. This made yum work but of course hasn't really solved the issue. I investigated some other ideas and I suspect that the issue relates to the decompression of the sqlite.bz2 file. It happens in misc.bunzipFile. My thinking is that the file is corrupted or truncated on download and the decompression fails. There doesn't seem to be any error handling that would prevent the attempt to process the file after this fails. I have no python skills at all so I'm unable to confirm this properly. Does anyone have a suggestion on how this could be verified? Thanks > >On Fri, 2008-01-04 at 09:17 +1300, Duncan Ritchie wrote: >> I have been having issues with YUM on two FC7 boxes.

Updated the machine with the old YUM to yum-3.2.8-2.fc7. Still the same issue. _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
