Hi,
I am trying to update yum from version 3.2.25 to 3.2.29 in Debian SID,
so that we have the latest before Wheezy is frozen.
Using yum 3.2.29, I ran the attached script. FYI, RPM is in version
4.9.1.2-1+b1. It seems everything goes well, and I believe that I got
CentOS installed, but then, at the end of the setup, I have the
following stack dump:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in <module>
yummain.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True)
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 262, in user_main
errcode = main(args)
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 198, in main
return_code = base.doTransaction()
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 580, in doTransaction
resultobject = self.runTransaction(cb=cb)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 1488, in
runTransaction
self.rpmdb.dropCachedDataPostTransaction(list(self.tsInfo))
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yum/rpmsack.py", line 308, in
dropCachedDataPostTransaction
self._cached_rpmdb_mtime = os.path.getmtime(rpmdbfname)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/genericpath.py", line 54, in getmtime
return os.stat(filename).st_mtime
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/tmp/test-centos/var/lib/rpm/Packages'
While it did work well when using yum 3.2.25 (which is current version
in both Debian stable, testing and unstable).
What is going wrong here? How can I fix?
If you want to try, I maintain yum packaging for Debian using Git at:

#!/bin/sh
CACHEDIR="/var/cache/yum" # where yum caches stuff -- is created as a
subdir
# of the destination chroot
# FIXME perhaps after installation the script can modify the target machine's
yum config to point to our Squid proxy
# or define http_proxy inside the machine. that would make upgrades for
customers much much faster.
# better idea: instead of using a web cache, use a stash on the machine, we
rsync the new RPMs into it once it's finished
# we would need a mutex (flock or fcntl based?) that mutially excludes the
critical section
# the critical section is both the yum and the rsync process
# we also need to rsync packages from the stash into the var cache on the vps,
and a mutex to lock out if another yum is running, just as in the first scenario
# cannot use a symlink because its chrooted for the duration of the process
# at any case, the repo names for different distros need to be different,
otherwise the caches will clash horribly
# FIXME once that is done, we can stop using apt-proxy or apt-cacher
# FIXME try to make it for suse, mandriva or any other rpm-based distro
