yum error during update (Fatal Error TypeError)

[kevin martin]

yum clean all doesn't help, I'll start with that.

The following error occurred with yum update today:

Running transaction check
Running transaction test
TypeError: an integer is required
FATAL ERROR: python callback <bound method RPMTransaction.callback of
<yum.rpmtrans.RPMTransaction instance at 0x7f5fbbc3cb00>>
failed, aborting!


I saw this yesterday as well so decided to try to update each package one at a time to see
which package this error occurs for.
Interestingly, it's more than one:

yikes, that looks bad. can you try downgrading yum (possibly with
rpm...) to see if that helps? check yum history and see if yum or other
possibly-related things have been updated recently? thanks!
