rawhide packages but rawhide repo not enabled

[Piscium]

Hiya,

I have been playing with Fedora for about a week and half. I installed Fedora 12 from a live CD that I created with the ISO I downloaded.

Since installing it I have enabled RPM Fusion for codecs, also installed a couple of rpms from ATRPMS by temporarily enabling it.

What puzzles me is that I have a large number of packages that yum tells me came from rawhide, yet I never enabled rawhide.

Any ideas?

You will see below my list of repos. I am attaching the full list of packages installed. Hope someone can explain this!

Thanks.

well do this rpm -qa|grep fc13 an then do a

rpm -qa|grep fc12 does it find any fc13 rpm's?

another possibility is that it didnt install the final fc12 release rpm

Thanks, Demz, that is interesting.

So the packages that yum tells me come from rawhide all have ".fc12" at the end of the name. So it could be that they are really from F12.

The question is then, why is yum confused?

Perhaps you are on the right track. When installing Fedora I said I did not want to install Grub. The reason is that I wanted to boot from the Ubuntu partition where I have Grub2 that I built myself.

You said "another possibility is that it didnt install the final fc12 release rpm". That is perhaps an explanation. Maybe something did not get installed because I did not install Grub.

Do you know what is the name of this rpm that you refer to as "final fc12 release rpm"? Do you think if I install it that will fix the yum issue?

it should be somehting like this fedora-release-12-2.noarch.rpm or this one fedora-release-12-1.noarch.rpm the fact your using Ubuntu's Grub shouldnt effect the problem you have. you might wanna grep those rpm's. also do a check to see if you have this rpm fedora-release-notes-12.0.0-4.fc12.noarch.rpm

also have you done a yum update ?

if you have those well then im confused is to why yum is confused

I think what yum is doing is tagging any package that came out of an *-updates-testing repo as @rawhide.
I saw this on all the kmod-nvidia packages after I installed from the rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing repo. That was just before they pushed all those kmods into the regular *-updates repo. Now ,after a couple of kernel and kmod-nivida updates, they are all tagged normally, as coming from rpmfusion-nonfree-updates repo.

Hi Demz,

What I meant is that perhaps Anaconda got confused because I chose not to install Grub and as a consequence some needed package did not get installed. Just speculation.

Yes, I have done yum update many times, also updated via PackageKit and Yum Extender.

I checked and have the packages you mention installed as you can see in the list below.

have you tried a yum clean all? why its still says rawhide i do not know?

[Piscium]

Just did "yum clean all", followed by "yum list installed". No effect, unfortunately.

Hi Pablo,

I never had the rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing enabled.
Only have:
rpmfusion-free, rpmfusion-free-updates
rpmfusion-nonfree, rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.

Did you run some command in order for the tags to return to normal, or did it happen by itself?

[dd_wizard]

I started with F12 alpha, so I'm not surprised at this:

[gene@Mobile-PC ~]$ yum list installed | grep rawhide | wc -l
294

Most of the 294 packages came from Fedora, but some are from RPM Fusion as well. Non-rawhide package count:

[gene@Mobile-PC ~]$ yum list installed | grep -v rawhide | wc -l
1876

As long as none of the packages from rawhide are F13, you should be ok. Since you installed after F12 went gold, I'm surprised you have F12 updates from rawhide.

[Piscium]

Well, I have 788 rawhide packages.

OK, maybe I will stop worrying about it. And now is time to go to bed. Thanks everybody.
