-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Good afternoon folks, the simple patch below fixed very annoying issue for me but I'm still not 100% sure what cause it. The issue was that when running the Revisor utility to create custom Fedora 9 spin one of it scripts was failing. The failure was at: yumdownloader -c $yumconf anaconda-runtime. The config files that come with Revisor are of the form: [main] cachedir=-yumcache reposdir= keepcache=1 debuglevel=1 logfile=-yum.log pkgpolicy=newest distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1 plugins=0 metadata_expire=15 installroot=/home/alexx/temp/yum-test failovermethod=priority [fedora] name=Fedora 9 - Sulphur - x86_64 baseurl=http://localrepo/fedora/releases/9/Everything/x86_64/os/ mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-9&arch=x86_64 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 .... skip .... Apparently it was failing to download the package from http://localrepo as such doesn't exist but then it was failing to download the package from any mirrorlist (as a matter of fact mirrorlist was not used). The patch below fixed that. What I noticed is that repo.cachedir was empty and it was used to construct the path for mirrorlist.txt which resulted in /mirrorlist.txt and denied write. Although Revisor was running as root that was failing. I still have to go and find out why this happened. Please review and apply the proposed patch. diff --git a/yum/__init__.py b/yum/__init__.py index 5786816..8decfca 100644 - --- a/yum/__init__.py +++ b/yum/__init__.py @@ -325,6 +325,7 @@ class YumBase(depsolve.Depsolve): ~ # Set attributes not from the config file ~ repo.basecachedir = self.conf.cachedir + repo.cachedir = repo.basecachedir ~ repo.yumvar.update(self.conf.yumvar) ~ repo.cfg = parser Thanks, Alexander. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Red Hat - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIhyTdhmd3WOiFct4RCjw5AKCp79srHs7LZMevufa9cMp83Xjr0ACfZ9Dg yF7tJ+l+oACO8ZpiycZCemk= =U54e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
