[WBEL-devel] [Fwd: Problems with Yum updates]

Hi all:

I have setup two separate rsync mirrors of the whitebox repositories, 
and run yum update on several servers using these repositories.  About 2 
days ago I started to get:

[root@ns1 root]# yum check-update
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: White Box Enterprise Linux 3.0 - i386 - Base
Server: White Box Enterprise Linux 3.0 - i386 - Released Updates
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yum", line 60, in ?
    yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "yummain.py", line 188, in main
  File "clientStuff.py", line 766, in get_package_info_from_servers
  File "clientStuff.py", line 103, in HeaderInfoNevralLoad
ValueError: unpack list of wrong size

on all my servers, some of which were using one repository, and the rest 
using the the other.  I verified that the rsync is working correctly on 
both repositories (I delete some files and resynced). I also tried to 
use other repositories and got the same error.

So I suspect that is a systemic problem.  I am not a Python programmer, 
so before I sink time into this I was going to ask if anyone else if 
having the same problem.

Feel free to email me directly if you want: [email protected]
