What version of the bodhi-client are you running?

I just updated our production instance with a potential fix. Can you please make sure you are running the latest bodhi-client in updates and try and reproduce this issue. Thanks!

I'm running 0.4.10-4.fc9, will try to reproduce the next time I have something to update (I already submitted w3c-markup-validator manually).

I found something to update (colordiff), and tried with it, it works.

However the console output needs cleanup IMO:

At this point I didn't at first notice the password prompt at all, but only the "scary" "HTTP Error 403: Forbidden" and was already about to post here that it didn't work (but after I noticed the prompt and entered a password, it did).

Please see if you can reproduce this issue with the latest bodhi-client and python-fedora, which can be downloaded from koji:
{{{
koji download-build bodhi-0.5.1-2.fc9
koji download-build python-fedora-0.3.5-1.fc10
}}}

Tried today with bodhi-client-0.5.1-3.fc9 and the latest common/ from CVS - looks like the bodhi template there is not compatible with this bodhi-client version at all. bodhi-client seems to still want abbreviated forms like type=E and request=S while the template suggests to use type=enhancement, request=stable etc. After using the abbreviated forms, I finally got:

{{{
$ make update
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/bodhi", line 313, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/bin/bodhi", line 136, in main
if not update_args['type_']:
TypeError: string indices must be integers
make: *** [bodhi] Error 1
}}}

Please note that I had only updated bodhi-client, my python-fedora was still at 0.3.4. I have nothing to update at the moment, will try again next time I have.

Yeah, you need python-fedora-0.3.5-1.fc10 or later.

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F9/FEDORA-2008-8249 could probably use a +1 or three (or a push to stable) :-)

python-fedora-0.3.6-2.fc9, which should resolve this issue, has been pushed to the stable updates repository. Please re-open this ticket if you are still experiencing this problem. Thanks!
