Yesterday I did a fresh install of F8 on a new machine. Then I attempted to
upgrade it to rawhide.
I generally update by hand, doing about 4 chunks of packages to do the
upgrade. I usually start by upgrading rpm and yum.
In current rawhide, yum (or yum utils) has a dependency on a particular
python module, but it the python chunk isn't pulled in by the yum upgrade.
After upgrading yum, yum won't run any more.
I downgraded the yum packages, did the upgrade, this time with rpm and yum
going last. I was too grouchy to record the exact message.
So, the short moral, if doing an F8 to rawhide upgrade, leave rpm/yum for
the last.

No dependencies have changed in yum for rawhide. It's the exact same
version as that which is in f8.

Darn, I should have written down the message.
Is it possible that the rawhide yum uses something in the python libraries
that isn't in the older F8 version of python?

I had a minimal F8 vmware VM, and yesterday intended to do a yum upgrade

I then tried a yum check-update, and saw the heap of updates.
Next I yum update rpm* yum*, which seemed OK.
After that yum didn't work anymore.
rpm was still working, so I upgraded groups of packages at a time.
I managed to kill it in this process by running out of disk space while
upgrading glibc, and others ;( and now she doesn't run commands or

Ok that definitely sounds like an issue that needs looked at deeper. Upgrading
rpm and yum first off should not break yum right away! Doing just yum works
fine for an updated machine as I showed, but maybe the base versions of rpm and
yum for F8 have issues with that update.

Yes, python-urlgrabber should have been upgraded to fc9 as should the other
python rpms. It looks like there could be a requires missing to get those to
move up to the fc9 version. Did you see anything about that when updating
python? Do you have the yumskipbroken plugin when doing that upgrade?

Yes, python-urlgrabber should have been upgraded to fc9
I
don't have the .fc9 one at the moment, however:
rpm -q --requires yum
/usr/bin/python
config(yum) = 3.2.8-2.fc9
python >= 2.4
python(abi) = 2.5
python-iniparse
python-sqlite
rpm >= 0:4.4.2
rpm-python
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PartialHardlinkSets) <= 4.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
urlgrabber
yum-metadata-parser >= 1.1.0
* note no version of urlgrabber mentioned so any should do.
[davidt@localhost ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides urlgrabber
python-urlgrabber-3.0.0-3.fc8
* I have one installed.
as should the other python rpms.
python and python-libs are
part of python itself. The others are
independent developments, with their own versions.
It looks like there could be a requires missing to
get those to move up to the fc9 version.
I might be getting this wrong; the
requires is trying to guarantee the
packages work with each other, by requiring stuff provided by other
packages, and specifying versions, if a specific version is required. I
don't think it is necessary to have all packages with .fc9. for things
to work normally. In any case, a later yum update would notice the
things that have updates, and update them.
Did you see anything about that when updating python?
no.
Do you have the yumskipbroken plugin when doing that upgrade?
no. yum-skip-broken is not installed.
