Issue #3730 has been reported by Andreas Thienemann. ---------------------------------------- Bug #3730: yumhelper.py shows updates available which are not installable http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3730
Author: Andreas Thienemann Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Target version: Affected version: 0.25.4 Keywords: Branch: Current yumhelper.py has the problem that it shows packages ready to be updated which are actually not available for updates. This only manifests itself with yum versions older than 3.0.0 [r...@mc101ppcapp-01 ~]# python /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/package/yumhelper.py _pkg perl-XML-LibXML 0 1.58 3.el4 i386 _pkg ImageMagick-perl 0 6.0.7.1 20.el4 i386 _pkg perl-IO-String 0 1.08 1.1.el4 noarch _pkg perl-Cyrus 0 2.2.12 9.RHEL4 i386 _pkg perl-TimeDate 1 1.16 5.el4 noarch _pkg perl-IO-Zlib 0 1.04 4.2.el4 noarch _pkg perl-XML-LibXML-Common 0 0.13 8.el4 i386 _pkg perl-HTML-Parser 0 3.55 1.el4 i386 _pkg perl-Archive-Tar 0 1.30 1.el4 noarch _pkg ImageMagick 0 6.0.7.1 20.el4 i386 [r...@mc101ppcapp-01 ~]# vs. [r...@mc101ppcapp-01 ~]# yum check-update Loading "priorities" plugin Loading "packagelock" plugin Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files 708 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Reading package lock configuration [r...@mc101ppcapp-01 ~]# This difference is due to yumhelper disregarding plugins such as versionlock, priorities, protectbase or similar yum plugins which may affect package selection. The attached patch adds plugin support to yumhelper, so that it has the same understanding of the repository that regular yum has. This should fix the observed problem. Newer versions of yum.YumBase.doConfigSetup() already initialize plugins, so it is not an issue with these. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
