Python or yum broken?

[Paul F. Johnson]

Hi,

I've just tried a few times to do a yum check-update and all I'm getting
is

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 135, in ?
    main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 62, in main
    result, resultmsgs = base.doCommands()
TypeError: unpack non-sequence

Is this yum or python being silly. I've just used yum to update
evolution, so it's hard to say!

yum clean does something similar.

TTFN

there is a thread on the mailinglist that explains this  subject: yum 2.1.0
The simple answer is yum-2.1.0-1 doesn't have all the advanced
features wired up.
expect yum updates moving forward to wire up more of those icing features.

I realize that we all are living on the bleeding edge here, but a heads up
to something such ass Yum not being ready for primetime would be nice.

1. I sent a notice to f-d-l and yum-devel list when I announced it.
2. So the only way to test the new yum would be to have it completely
finished? But the only way to finish the new yum is to have it tested?
Wash, rinse, repeat.
