Re: [vserver] Building on CentOS 6.2

I finally have a complete patch set that applies cleanly but when I try and build a brand new vserver I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in <module>
    yummain.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True)

    version_path = os.path.normpath(cachedir + '/version')
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'NoneType' and 'str'

Is there anybody who wishes to try and help resolve this with me please ? Would love to get it working on CentOS 6.
