Yes. PackageKit uses:
yumbase.conf.yumvar['releasever']
to get the current release version. If this still happens after a
reboot, please open a bug with the component yum, and state that
releasever isn't being detected correct.ly.
What is "yumbase.conf.yumvar['releasever']? Is that the name of a file?
I could not locate anything with such a name on my computer, even
stripping out the '['releasever']' part. I also looked through all the
yum and packagekit configuration files and saw nothing resembling that...
Maybe it's just me, but I cannot figure out how to file a bug anymore.
It used to be that you could take a circuitous route to get to a page
that would allow you file a bug on red hat bugzilla, but clicking on the
'file a new bug' link takes me to a page that has vaguely described
search fields - vague in that it's not clear what you're supposed to
search on and there's no explanation - entering the exact words you
suggested took me to a failed to find page with no clue as to what to do
next...there are no instructions, vaguely defined fields, and
inscrutable results. I would like to file bugs, but, it's been like this
for awhile now and I've complained before, but nobody seems to respond
when I raise the problem. I'm no newbie, but an old guy - I've been
running Linux on multiple machines for 7 years, and I'm a network
administrator in a Windows shop, so I'm familiar with computers, but
bugzilla just seems to get harder and harder - how can you expect people
to participate if it's this time-consuming to simply find the way to
enter the bug?
I'm not trying to vent on you, Richard... I know the contributions you
make. But, if there's anyone you can pass this complaint along to, or if
someone can point out to me the big obvious solution that's staring me
in the face and I'm just blocking on, I would be glad to file a bug.
