Summary0003564: yum-updatesd not working after upgrade to centos 5.3
DescriptionAfter Upgrading from 5.2 to 5.3 yum-updatesd has stopped working.
The daemon starts at boot and remain silent for a while (an hour or more,without producing any notification of the availability of software updates) then suddenly the process dies without any messages in the log.

yum instead works perfectly and a check-update command cofirms the presence of new updates
Additional InformationThe file in attachement is the output of the following command:

yum-updatesd -f -d

This bug looks very similar to #0003540
TagsNo tags attached.

I have built and made available dbus-python-0.82 as a temporary work around. You can get the RPM here:

http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/dbus-python-0.82/

Download the correct RPM for your arch and install it with the command:

rpm -Uvh dbus-python-0.82.4-2.el5_3.i386.rpm

OR

rpm -Uvh dbus-python-0.82.4-2.el5_3.x86_64.rpm


Then make sure yum-updatesd is installed and running.

NOTE: This will allow puplet to run and it is the solution that the upstream provider says they will implement. It might cause issues with other programs and should only be seen as a temporary fix.

On my systems, the update notification is still not functional after upgrade to CentOS 5.4! Specifically, .xsession-errors still shows:

"Error getting update info: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message b
us)
Introspect error: The name edu.duke.linux.yum was not provided by any .service f
iles
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/puplet", line 191, in _refreshInfo
    if self.updatesObject is not None and \
AttributeError: DBusException instance has no attribute '_dbus_error_name'"

Does this mean the problem still has not been fixed upstream? Quite annoying, although it is - admittedly - not a severe issue.

Upgrading from Centos 5.3 to Centos 5.4 (through yum) solved the issue on two different machines on which I have had the problem.

According to the upstream bugzilla, the problem was fixed with dbus-python-0.70-9.el5_4. People still seeing the issue should update to this version.
