Yes, the kernel-source.rpm comes from my repo, but the localpackage is
in:

/var/cache/yum/R0_os11.1/packages/kernel-source-2.6.27.25-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm


so its the package which I downloaded from my repo.
(The md5sum for the localpackage and the repo are the same, I checked
that)

And regardless of the critical warning, the package is installed.
A simple rpm -U /var/cache/.../kernel-source.rpm does not show db errors
and doing a
rpm -U http://reposerver/tmp/kernel-source-2.6.27.25-0.1.1.x86_64.rpm
works too.
The only thing which I currently know, is this critical warning with
"yum udpate" and if I update "more" rpms, the db error.

okay - just to verify can you send me the output of:

yum --version


and rpm -q python


vmw169:/var/lib # rpm --version
RPM version 4.4.2.3

vmw169:/var/lib # yum --version

My first debug result is:

- If I remove the
vogt[SPECS]>cat changelog.txt | wc -l
29886

entries from the kernel-source.spec it works with yum-update.
(But adding it back and removing the %files section works too) :(
So maybe its a combination. Ridiculous entries in the changelog
and a big file list?

I guess it could be - but that doesn't make much sense why yum would care. Yum doesn't really DO anything with either of those. All the actual package installation bits are handled by rpm and thd db-error is certainly coming from rpm.

What ver of rpm-python do you have installed?
