Hello, I'm getting an error when I try to list available packages with yum: ---- Reading repository metadata in from local files ejrpm_noar: ##################################### 979/1320Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 97, in main result, resultmsgs = do() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 516, in doCommands ypl = self.returnPkgLists() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 1192, in returnPkgLists ypl = self.doPackageLists(pkgnarrow=pkgnarrow) File "__init__.py", line 972, in doPackageLists File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 82, in doRepoSetup self.doSackSetup(thisrepo=thisrepo) File "__init__.py", line 291, in doSackSetup File "repos.py", line 289, in populateSack File "sqlitecache.py", line 96, in getPrimary File "sqlitecache.py", line 89, in _getbase File "sqlitecache.py", line 344, in updateSqliteCache File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/mdparser.py", line 61, in next for event, elem in self.reader: File "<string>", line 61, in __iter__ SyntaxError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 2380, column 321 ---- I'm of the mind that this was caused by a package that was added to the repository yesterday afternoon, as one time it worked, and the next it didn't. I've been searching the internet for a good chunk of the day, but haven't found this particular error and its solution anywhere. I'm also guessing that the line and column numbers at the end of the error refer to the position in the primary.xml.gz file, but taking a look there shows me nothing different than what's in every other package in the repo. Any suggestions? I'm able to get around it by just using rpm, but I lose the some of the benefits provided by yum. Thanks in advance for your help!
you're probably not wrong. 1. what ver of yum? 2. what is generating the repodata on the repository side 3. what pkgs got added to the repo yesterday? 4. can you post your primary.xml.gz file? thanks, -sv
