This patch to /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/packages.py fixed that
little problem:
def __eq__(self, other):
# if other == None:
# return False
if comparePoEVR(self, other) == 0 and self.arch == other.arch and
self.name == other.name:
return True
return False
This is still a problem in yum 3.1.6, but I notice fixed in CVS.
So now I'm trying again, but with yum-3.1.6 and yum-install-1.1.2. I now find
that yumdownloader requires various things to already exist in the
installroot which it was happy and able to create in the earlier version.
Specifically it expects the installroot to already include an rpmdb and cache
directories for each repository (both of which I've found workarounds for),
and then also demands to find a pre-cached repomd.xml file per repository.
Are these intentional changes of behaviour, or are they regressions which I
can help to debug?
Here's the problem:
...
self.conf.uid = os.geteuid()
-> if self.conf.uid != 0:
-> self.conf.cache = 1
...
After commenting out that code, and making the following changes to
yumdownloader, I find that latest releases do indeed do a *much* better
job at resolving dependencies.
