Yum issue

(1/2) > >>

Greg Pringle:
Why would yum return:
Error: no such table: packages

It does this no matter what is entered. It has worked in the past.

It will do it with any command like:
yum update *

thanks

guzzi:
Try yum clean all

Greg Pringle:
Thanks guzzi.

Not a complete fix but did get further.

here is what I get:

[C:\]yum list all
netlabs-rel          | 2.9 kB  00:00
netlabs-rel/primary_ | 654 kB  00:02     = ] 166 kB/s | 631 kB  00:00 ETA


[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/@unixroot/var/cache/yum/netlabs-rel/7af6d
d4310a296b95a23ef2735f994aed509578f28087cbf99b29a4919f3c072-primary.sqlite.bz2'

Alex Taylor:
I've seen this on multiple systems, and it's caused by the latest update to the GCC (and/or LIBC?) DLLs. Specifically, while the new DLL naming logic is apparently backwards compatible with old applications, it breaks if you have old GCC* DLLs in the LIBPATH.

Update your LIBPATH to move %UNIXROOT%\usr\lib to or near the front (especially move it before \ecs\dll or anywhere else that old GCC*.DLL and LIBC*.DLL might exist) and reboot.

Longer-term, try to seek out and remove all other GCC*.DLL and LIBC*.DLL from your system except for those in %UNIXROOT%\usr\lib.

Greg Pringle:
Thanks Alex.

It was the LIBPATH statement.

After that yum started working again without problems.

I put the path after the ;.; so it would not override a dll in the current directory.
