Problem with today's "yum update"

Hi,

--obsoletes is not listed as an option anymore.

That said, I'm getting this when I try to do an update. yum gets to the
resolving dependencies stage and then...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 139, in ?
    main(sys.argv[1:])
  File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 94, in main
    (result, resultmsgs) = base.buildTransaction() 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 130, in
buildTransaction
    (rescode, restring) = self.resolveDeps()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py", line 157, in
resolveDeps
    (checkdep, missing, conflict, errormsgs) = self._processConflict
(dep)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py", line 351, in
_processConflict
    msg = '%s conflicts: %s' % (name, rpmUtils.miscutils.formatRequire
(needname, needversion, flags))
NameError: global name 'name' is not defined

Looks like something is broken.

TTFN
