Hi, everyone,
I am running F10. I attempted to review some yum groups using the
Add/Remove Software button, and the window gives me the following error:
Error Type: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>
Error Value: rpmdb open failed
File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 2314, in
<module>
main()
File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 2310, in
main
backend = PackageKitYumBackend('', lock=True)
File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 182, in
__init__
self.yumbase = PackageKitYumBase(self)
File : /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py, line 2253, in
__init__
self.repos.confirm_func = self._repo_gpg_confirm

repos = property(fget=lambda self: self._getRepos(),
File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py, line 395, in
_getRepos
self._getConfig() # touch the config class first
File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/__init__.py, line 192, in
_getConfig
self._conf = config.readMainConfig(startupconf)
File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/config.py, line 774, in
readMainConfig
yumvars['releasever'] = _getsysver(startupconf.installroot,
startupconf.distroverpkg)
File : /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/yum/config.py, line 844, in
_getsysver
idx = ts.dbMatch('provides', distroverpkg)
If I am reading this debug message correctly, it appears that a lock
file is in place. But the path is not given.
If I use a terminal and do yum commands directly (I tried several, but
didn't keep a log) they seem to work correctly. So this appears to be
some lock that is generated by the Add/Remove Software utility, and not
yum itself.
Any clues? Looking up the yum help on line didn't provide any
illumination (as I expected, since this appears to be the window, and
not the utility).
Regards,
Les H
