AttributeError: CHECKSUM_VALUE Error with Rightscale Centos AMI Creation Script

By admin, on February 19th, 2009%

Rightscale created a great script to build an AMI from scratch – see http://blog.rightscale.com/2007/09/26/rightimages-changelog/

AttributeError: CHECKSUM_VALUE rightscale

This worked for me;

rpm -qa | grep yum-metadata-parser rpm -ev –nodeps yum-metadata-parser-VERSIONFROMABOVECMD

cd /tmp wget ftp://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux…8.fc6.i386.rpm rpm -iv ./yum-metadata-parser-1.0-8.fc6.i386.rpm yum check-update
