[ATrpms-users] yum-plugin-kmdl on EL4 (CentOS4.4)

[Philip R. Schaffner]

Last several updates to yum-plugin-kmdl have had a problem with "API
2.2" that have been fixed by editing /usr/lib/yum-plugins/kmdl.py per
advice from Axel:

[root at wx1 ~]# yum update
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading "priorities" plugin


Plugin "kmdl" requires API 2.2. Supported API is 2.1.

The following patch has been a work-around:

Latest problem seems to be new.  When yum-plugin-kmdl is enabled, I am
seeing the following kind of error on two different systems:

# yum update
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading "priorities" plugin
Loading "kmdl" plugin
Loading "protectbase" plugin

    return set(kmdls)

[root at wx1 ~]#

Disabling the plugin allows the command to complete.
