No, the bug is that it fails at "Transaction Check" time. For instance on an F11 box, I have: % sudo yum list yum --showduplicates Loaded plugins: aliases, keys, noop, presto, security, tmprepo Installed Packages yum.noarch 3.2.24-9.fc12 @rawhide Available Packages yum.noarch 3.2.22-4.fc11 fedora yum.noarch 3.2.24-2.fc11 updates ...and if I try to "install yum" it says: % sudo yum install yum Loaded plugins: aliases, keys, noop, presto, security, tmprepo Setting up Install Process Package matching yum-3.2.24-2.fc11.noarch already installed. Checking for update. Nothing to do % ...which is what it should be doing in the above cases, but the change from .i586 to .i686 confuses the install/downgrade paths. -- James Antill - james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/releases http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/whatsnew/3.2.25 http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumMultipleMachineCaching -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
