Hello, (forewarning: I am writing this as a sysadmin on a CentOS host with IUS installed by the host owner/user, but paltry knowledge of IUS)
I have been running Chef [1] on one of my CentOS 5.5 hosts. Recently, either the host's owner installed IUS, or upgraded it [2], and now CentOS and Chef are no longer on speaking terms. I traced the problem down to a certain "yum-dump.py" [3] script within Chef, which works with stock Yum, but gets very angry when package "yum-plugin-replace" has been installed [4]. It looks like yum-plugin-replace overrode the "preconf" functions within Python's yum. Can someone confirm that this is the case, and suggest a fix and/or workaround for me? Confirming this problem should be simple: - Retrieve yum-dump.py (from [3]) - On a system without yum-plugin-replace, run "sudo python yum-dump.py" - Install yum-plugin-replace - Run "sudo python yum-dump.py" once more - (Optional) Bask in your god-like intelligence for knowing how to fix this problem Thanks, -Kurt Yoder [1]: http://opscode.com/chef [2]: current package version is yum-plugin-replace-0.2-1.el5 [3]: http://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/0.8-stable/chef/lib/chef/provider/package/yum-dump.py [4]: yum-dump.py output: k...@darmstadtium:~$ sudo python yum-dump.py [sudo] password for kurt: Traceback (most recent call last): File "yum-dump.py", line 104, in ? y.doUnlock(PIDFILE) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 1167, in doUnlock if hasattr(self, 'preconf') or self.conf.uid != 0: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 664, in <lambda> conf = property(fget=lambda self: self._getConfig(), File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 194, in _getConfig fn = self.preconf.fn AttributeError: 'YumBase' object has no attribute 'preconf' Exception exceptions.AttributeError: "'YumBase' object has no attribute 'preconf'" in <bound method YumBase.__del__ of <yum.YumBase object at 0x2b3e60f80f90>> ignored _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ius-community Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ius-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
