[Spacewalk-list] Fedora 12 client & spacewalk yum issue

[Michael Mraka]

Hi Bruce,

% I've searched all the email I've received since the release of Fedora 12
% and I can't find any reference to an issue with fedora 12 yum being
% incompatible with spacewalk.
...
% Differences in yum versions:
% fedora 12 client:
%    [root at tlonxeng ~]# rpm -qa | grep yum
%    yum-utils-1.1.23-3.fc12.noarch
%    yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-14.fc12.x86_64
%    yum-presto-0.6.1-1.fc12.noarch
%    yum-rhn-plugin-0.7.6-1.fc12.noarch
%    yum-3.2.22-20.el5.centos.noarch
%    PackageKit-yum-0.5.4-0.1.20091029git.fc12.x86_64
%    PackageKit-yum-plugin-0.5.4-0.1.20091029git.fc12.x86_64
%    anaconda-yum-plugins-1.0-5.fc12.noarch
%    [root at tlonxeng ~]#
%  
%  
% rhel 5.3 client:
%    [root at tloninzerotouch ~]# rpm -qa | grep yum
%    yum-security-1.1.16-13.el5
%    yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.3-30.el5
%    yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5
%    yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-2.el5
%    yum-3.2.22-20.el5
%    [root at tloninzerotouch ~]#
%  
%  
% Is it a known issue whereby Fedora 12 (presumably yum) is not able to
% talk to spacewalk 0.7...and at a guess any version of spacewalk (I've
% not yet tried 0.8.36-1)

during the last week or so there has been number of Fedora 12 bugs fixed in
yum-rhn-plugin. So please install latest plugin (+ dependencies)
from nightly client repo (yum-rhn-plugin-0.8.4-1.fc12).

And of course please report any issues.

Regards,
