NAME         top

       yum-debug-dump - write system RPM configuration to a debug-dump
       file

SYNOPSIS         top

       yum-debug-dump

DESCRIPTION         top

       yum-debug-dump is a program which creates a gzipped file
       containing a lot of information useful to developers trying to
       debug a problem.

       By default it will output a file to the current working directory
       named yum_debug_dump-<hostname>-<time>.txt.gz. This file contains
       no private information but does contain a complete list of all
       packages you have installed, all packages available in any
       repository, important configuration and system information.  You
       can view this file using the 'zless' command.

       You can use the coresponding program yum-debug-restore to act on
       this file and restore a set of packages (much like dump/restore).

FILES         top

       As yum-debug-dump uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the
       information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values
       like which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for
       details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/

BUGS         top

       There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should
       first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq
       and if unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing
       list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.  To file a bug use
       http://bugzilla.redhat.com for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and
       http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
