[Jeffrey Ness <916943@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Sri,

Thank you for your bug report.

As you mentioned old packages do not stay in the main stable repo, for
this purpose we maintain a Archive repo:

   http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/archive/

Most likely the 'yum  undo' is looking for the past package version in your enabled repos, 
however IUS does not enable the archive repo by default. 

You can see the configurations used for repos here:

   http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ius-coredev/ius/ius-
release/files/head:/SOURCES/

Would it be possible for you to add a configuration to /etc/yum.repo.d/ enabling the Archive repo,
once this is enabled can you test the undo? Please let us know your results.

Thanks
Jeffrey-

Title:
  Yum undo does not work

Status in IUS Community Project:
  New

Bug description:
  RHEL6 has a yum history feature where you can list all the
  transactions. Further you can use them for any undo operations

  yum history undo <id>

  I  have been playing with this for a while and seems like there is a
  problem with undo and IUS repos

  If I install a package fresh from and then do a undo it works. This is
  likely because in this case I am removing packages.

  However if I update a package and try to use undo to revert to the old
  version it fails. Here's what I tried with php

  
  [root@zeus ~]# yum history undo 34
  Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, tsflags

   * epel: mirror01.th.ifl.net
   * extras: mirror01.th.ifl.net
   * ius: ftp.rediris.es
   * updates: mirror01.th.ifl.net

  Undo works fine with downgrades of packages from  Red Hat packages and EPEL
  It is likely because the IUS repos don't have previous versions in the main repo.
  Given that undo is a nice feature , are there any plans for doing this ?
  Note, I have not tried other options and so there might be a way to do this in a different way.

  
  OS  Version : Red Hat 6.2
  IUS : ius-release-1.0-8.ius.el6.noarch

  
  Thanks,
  Sri
