This machine has been offline and not updated for several months. I booted it and ran yum update. It generated an error. I googled the error, no hits. I did "yum clean all". Tried yum update again, it finished dependency resolution and reported some missing dependencies. I can deal with that. love and kisses, Dave Here is the tail end of the error output: ---> Package geos-devel.x86_64 0:3.1.0-1.el5.rf set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: libgeos-3.1.0.so()(64bit) for package: gdal 4f6cc3a71b7f8a837fe18f749eb1740523af76b0-filelists.sqlite.bz2 | 5.6 MB 02:09 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ? yummain.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 229, in user_main errcode = main(args) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 145, in main (result, resultmsgs) = base.buildTransaction() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 647, in buildTransaction (rescode, restring) = self.resolveDeps() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py", line 704, in resolveDeps for po, dep in self._checkFileRequires(): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py", line 939, in _checkFileRequires if not self.tsInfo.getOldProvides(filename) and not self.tsInfo.getNewProvides(filename): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/transactioninfo.py", line 414, in getNewProvides for pkg, hits in self.pkgSack.getProvides(name, flag, version).iteritems(): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/packageSack.py", line 300, in getProvides return self._computeAggregateDictResult("getProvides", name, flags, version) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/packageSack.py", line 470, in _computeAggregateDictResult sackResult = apply(method, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 861, in getProvides return self._search("provides", name, flags, version) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 43, in newFunc return func(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 837, in _search for pkg in self.searchFiles(name, strict=True): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 43, in newFunc return func(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 586, in searchFiles self._sql_pkgKey2po(rep, cur, pkgs) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 470, in _sql_pkgKey2po pkg = self._packageByKey(repo, ob['pkgKey']) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 413, in _packageByKey po = self.pc(repo, cur.fetchone()) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 68, in __init__ self._read_db_obj(db_obj) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/sqlitesack.py", line 94, in _read_db_obj setattr(self, item, _share_data(db_obj[item])) TypeError: unsubscriptable object _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
