I changed the "installonly_limit" to "1" from the default value "3" in /etc/yum.conf, and yum blows up. # yum search boinc Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Options Error: Error parsing '1': out of range integer value PackageKit gave me a better traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py", line 2956, in __init__ self.repos.confirm_func = self._repo_gpg_confirm File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 717, in <lambda> repos = property(fget=lambda self: self._getRepos(), File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 496, in _getRepos self.conf # touch the config class first File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 723, in <lambda> conf = property(fget=lambda self: self._getConfig(), File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 276, in _getConfig self._conf = config.readMainConfig(startupconf) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 827, in readMainConfig yumconf.populate(startupconf._parser, 'main') File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 505, in populate setattr(self, name, value) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/config.py", line 94, in __set__ raise ValueError('Error parsing $r: $s' $ (value, str(e))) ValueError: Error parsing '1': out of range integer value I changed the value to 0, 2, 3 etc, all of them resulting in a working yum environment.
