You'll notice that it does: def dirSetup(self): """make the necessary dirs, if possible, raise on failure""" cachedir = os.path.join(self.basecachedir, self.id) pkgdir = os.path.join(cachedir, 'packages') hdrdir = os.path.join(cachedir, 'headers') self.setAttribute('cachedir', cachedir) self.setAttribute('pkgdir', pkgdir) self.setAttribute('hdrdir', hdrdir) There may be another bug here, but I don't think the patch you sent is the right way to fix it. -sv _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
