recently updated centos 5.3
upon running yum update after much spinning and whirring I get the following
Total download size: 22 M
Is this ok [y/N]: y
Downloading Packages:
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 181, in main
return_code = base.doTransaction()
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 386, in doTransaction
problems = self.downloadPkgs(downloadpkgs, callback_total=self.download_callback_total_cb)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 1108, in downloadPkgs
remote_size += po.size
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +=: 'int' and 'str'
I havw done yum clean all before this but I have seen this more than once. Totally confused.

Re: annoying yum issue
A shot in the dark, but try:
rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*
Similar problems in the past have been traced to issues with the cache directory. If that doesn't help...
Did you update with "yum clean all && yum update glibc\* && yum update"? Have you rebooted after updating? What is the version of yum?
rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*

No updated kernel then the rest. No errors (after clean all and deleting some rpm detrius)
Have you rebooted after updating?
Actually no. Uptime 220 days

Re: annoying yum issue
Stuff happens. :-)
Was getting ready to point out the two versions when I saw your last post. Glad you fixed it, and thanks for reporting back.

Re: annoying yum issue
Just wanted to reply to say this fixed my issue (where none of the many many other recommendations on the internet did).wpmullin wrote:fixed my issue

After I deleted the older yum-metadata-parser, yum was completely broken and wouldn't even report a version. Don't panic! After installing the latest version of yum-metadata-parser, it worked perfectly.
Thanks!
