Why 3.2.29? 3.4.x wasn't a major change, as the release announcement said. I also haven't done a 3.4.2, and it's been a while, so you might want to look at the Fedora/RHEL "semi-releases" ... but even 3.4.1 should be better. > Using yum 3.2.29, I ran the attached script.

How can I fix? It's possible this is a bug in chroot pathing, in that the above is trying to stat /tmp/test-centos/tmp/test-centos/var/lib/rpm/Packages ... but the code assumes it never fails. There were a couple of bugs like that IIRC, but it's been a while. Could be something else too ... after the above failure, does the above path exist? _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list Yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
