After updating to yum-3.1.5, the traceback does not go away or even change. There is a suspicios reference to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL/__init__.py in the traceback. This file belongs to the python-imaging package. Removing that does not change anything either.

To me, it looks like a problem somewhere in our Python 2.5. Jan, any clue on your side? :) Some more notes: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL/__init__.py doesn't have anything todo with yum, and it doesn't have a line 537, or function buildTransaction. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Christoph, i'll send you a patch for that. it is not related in any way to this bug, though still no idea why the error occurs :( it is as if rpm's python module suddenly, in the middle of a transaction, forgot how to recognize an int value. or the value might be lost somewhere in the python interpreter. since this is clearly a problem in Python and not in yum, i'm taking the bug -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

mi = ts.dbMatch(tag, name) for argument "name", rpm-python accepts type String, yum supplies type Unicode.
simplest solution is in yum, along the lines of
mi = ts.dbMatch(tag, name.encode('us-ascii')) (if I apply this, yum fails on some other place with exactly the same problem, fixed in exactly the same manner. i didn't examine deeper)
Christoph, returning it back to you, it's your call about what to do now. You might use this solution (note that it breaks when non-ascii character gets into the name), or figure out why the Unicode even gets there. (it just might be that this is the underyling bug in python, so feel free to return it to me if that's the case) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
