Hi all,
I don't know if this is a problem of createrepo, or repoview, or the new yum version. Here is my issue.
I was using a fedora core 10 x86 machine to create repositories (using createrepo 0.9.6) for fedora core 8, 9 & 10. Everything was working fine, repositories created, and installations from those repositories succeeding.
..up to the moment I did a 'yum update' and had the new createrepo 0.9.7 in my fedora core 10 machine. At that time, the problem started. createrepo/repoview shows no warning nor error. But at the time of installing a machine (for example a fedora core 9) using that repository....it stops at the time of accessing the repository, with an error message that I attach as a PNG graphic file.
Same thing creating a repository in fc11 to install an fc9 machine, because fc11 has the createrepo 0.9.7 also as the first version, and not as an update like it is in fc10.
So to sum up, createrepo 0.9.6 works fine to create repositories for all fedora core versions, but starting from createrepo 0.9.7 (I tried 0.9.8) those repositories fail to install from.
I attach the error shown for example by a fedora core 9 installation (I used createrepo 0.9.7 to create his repository).
I whish I knew from whom this problem comes. new createrepo? new yum? Shouldn't be wise to show somewhere that this new version is not backward compatible (in the case this was expected).
Thank you very much
Pablo
