CentOS 5 の yum に失敗 (TypeError: unsubscriptable object)

CentOS 5.3 で、yum update が急に TypeError: unsubscriptable object というエラーを出して失敗するようになりました。Windows Update にしても yum にしても、失敗した例はここしばらく見たことが無かったんですが。放置しておくと危険です。

すべての VMware ゲストの CentOS 5.3 で試してみると、用途の異なる CentOS サーバすべてで同様に失敗している模様です。

5月8日～5月9日あたりに流れてきた kernel 系のアップデートは正しく行われていて、

[code language=”bash”]
Installed: kernel-devel-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.i686
Installed: kernel-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.i686
Updated: kernel-headers-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.i386
[/code]

OS の再起動も問題なくできたのですが、その後 TypeError: unsubscriptable object で止まるようになりました。以下が止まったときのログ。

yum clean metadata で解決

探していたところ、CentOS Bug Tracker に、同じような例を発見。yum clean metadata すれば良いらしく。

[code language=”bash”]
# yum clean metadata
Loaded plugins: downloadonly, fastestmirror, priorities
19 metadata files removed
8 sqlite files removed
0 metadata files removed
#
[/code]

では再度アップデートしてみましょう。

[code language=”bash”]
# yum update

直りました。

放置しておくと yum update できないままなので、新たな脆弱性が発見されたとき、攻撃の対象になるかもしれません。
