Yum update issue 2008/08/13 02:55  
We're running yum updates from the RHEL 4 virtualmin yum repository.

We've been getting the following error messages from our yum cron script since at least 29 August:

Code:

/etc/cron.daily/yum.cron: Error: Missing Dependency: python-elementtree is needed by package yum Error: Missing Dependency: python-sqlite is needed by package yum Error: Missing Dependency: python-elementtree is needed by package yum Error: Missing Dependency: python-sqlite is needed by package yum



A more verbose update yields the same result:

Code:

[root@snoopy etc]# yum update Setting up Update Process Setting up Repos virtualmin                100% |=========================|  951 B    00:00      virtualmin-universal      100% |=========================|  951 B    00:00      Reading repository metadata in from local files virtualmin: ################################################## 299/299 virtualmin: ################################################## 119/119 Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

The python-elementtree and python-sqlite do not appear to be availabe in the RHEL 4 virtualmin yum repository.

Is this a dependency issue with the recently updated (27 July) yum package? Or is there something else that I'm missing here?

Thanks,

Hrm, they do indeed provide yum in the RHEL4 repository. And yum does now appear to require those packages you're mentioning.

I think I'd label this bug-like :-)

What I'd do is pop this problem into the bug tracker, at which point Joe can either put those dependencies into the RHEL4 repository, or tell us the error in our ways :-)
