Update 0.4.11-0.9.8: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'RPMSENSE_PREREQ'

[David C. Rankin]

Guys,

I updated my createrepo install to the current 0.9.8 package on my Arch Linux
server. I have 4 openSUSE repos I maintain. All updates with createrepo worked
fine with 0.4.11. After updating to the following:

beecrypt-4.2.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
kid-0.9.6-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
python-iniparse-0.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
repoview-0.6.5-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
rpm-5.1.9-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
yum-3.2.28-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
yum-createrepo-0.9.8-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
yum-metadata-parser-1.1.4-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

I receive the following error on my opensuse_11.0 repo. (~6900 rpms).
However, my opensuse_11.3 repo updates just fine (~1200 rpms). The error I get is:

[13:55 nirvana:/home/backup/rpms] # createrepo --update -d openSUSE_11.0/

I know very little about python, so I need a bit of help on where I should
start trying to figure out what is going on. Any ideas?

err... only suse uses PreReq nowadays. that might be your problem.
See openSUSETools on build.o.o for the package createrepo and see what
patches they used.

Yum needs a patch to work with 4.4.3 and beyond (such as your 5.1.9)

Easiest is just adding the enum values, rather than conditionals...

Thanks all, I'll try the patch and report back. What makes this situation a bit
different is my opensuse repositories are hosted on my Arch Linux server not on
openSUSE. So I end up building everything from source (well actually from the
Arch AUR PKGBUILD scripts -- that, shall we say, need a little TLC to handle the
0.4x to 0.9x jump.

Thank you again. I'll see how far I can get, but I may need to beg for a bit
more help if I get stuck :p

Anders,

You-da-man! Applied the patch and then re-ran the update against my opensuse
11.0 repo and it worked just fine:

[17:28 nirvana:/home/backup/rpms] # createrepo --update -d openSUSE_11.0/
6790/6790 - src/fraqtive-0.4.4-3.22.src.rpm

Thank you for your help!
