Doc Text: |
Under certain, unusual circumstances, yum could encounter an infinite recursion while executing the package-cleanup --dupes command. Yum would crash and the recursion would eventually terminate with the error maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object. The code that populates the package sacks is now modified so that this recursion cannot take place, therefore avoiding the crash.

This is a somewhat minor bug, only happening in some weird edge cases ... but the fix is a trivial one liner. So it's ready to go for snap1 if I can get the flags. Release note added. If any revisions are required, please set the "requires_release_notes" flag to "?" and edit the "Release Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Under certain, unusual circumstances, yum could encounter an infinite recursion while executing the package-cleanup --dupes command. Yum would crash and the recursion would eventually terminate with the error maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object. The code that populates the package sacks is now modified so that this recursion cannot take place, therefore avoiding the crash. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on therefore solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2009-1419.html |
