yumex fails with 10-11 upgrade...

[GrayFox]

Hi,

Just upgraded to fedora 11 and yumex appears to be broken...
the GUI never appears an manually running yumex yields
a bad magic number in yumex.pyc

python 2.6 appears to be the new system python but a file yumex.pyc
asserts that yumex.pyc is a 2.5 python executable

The command yum update

[root@localhost ~]# yum update

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

it appears that yum still thinks this is a fedora 10 system...

Help...

Jerry

wonder if it download the fedora-release ..how did you update by the way

could you do this for me

cat /etc/redhat-release

[GrayFox]

Hi,
"yum clean all"

Seems to help bring things back on track.

I had to disable the postgresql repository otherwise yum failed.

After doing the 'clean all' and disabling the postgresql repository yum found 400 MB of fedora 11 updates.

After downloading the updates the install failed because one of the keys could not
be imported.

I re-ran yum and this time all of the updates installed and yumex seems to be working
but I get the following error

08:25:19 : Setup Yum : Updates
08:25:22 : Error loading update metadata from updates
08:25:22 : --> No id element found

I am getting closer...

Jerry

try this one yum clean metadata i dont think yum clean all works consistantly

[pkands]

I'm having this problem too with f10.
I get:
Error loading update metadata from updates
--> No id element found

yum clean all and metadata doesn't help.

I haven't gotten updates since this started.

[adrian_81]

I've got exactly that problem with f11 preview
the yum clean commands mentioned above don't help, neither does changing from mirrorlist to baseurl in fedora-updates.repo
I haven't gotten any updates either ever since this error message started to appear

[pkands]

I mentioned before that I am having this problem with F10 updates.
I also have this with F11 preview on another PC.

Same problem, F11. No error in CLI but still getting "No Packages marked for Update".

what repo's do you all have

My guess is something screwed up with the list somewhere.

I'm getting the same metadata error on a clean install of F11. My repo list is identical to andrewfossey, except for the adobe repo which I haven't enabled. Running 'yum clean all/metadata' didn't get rid the error.

After installing on Thursday (11th) I updated the entire system through yumex, but don't recall if the error was there at that time. Since the initial update I also haven't had any more packages to update.

Sorry I don't have any advice, but I would like to keep track of this thread.

This is my repo list with Fedora 10. I have the same problem with F11 (via RC) on my laptop.

Jerry's problem seems to me to be a bug in the dependency trees. Apparently all of the missing files are .fc10 files. In my case, I completed the update using the command

yum update --exclude crda --exclude libpst -- exclude libpst-libs --exclude ppl --skip-broken update

Only these four troubled me (although there already were current .fc11 versions installed for all four); the --skip-update was suggested by yum when with the four excludes i had a conflict with nss -- yum told me
"Error: nss-softokn-freebl conflicts nss < 3.12.2.99.3-5
You could try using --skip-broken to work around this problem"

I installed the fc10 version of crda, but could not get the remaining three installed (yet). I'll wait for the team to update the dependency trees to identify the fc11 versions so yum update can be happy with the packages that came with the fc11 iso.

By the way, I haven't checked for a bug report on this, and I haven't yet filed a bug.

Seems like Bug 488297 "Error resolving nant dependencies" is related to this.
