Note that FC2 is no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy. Also, up2date has been replaced by pirut and pup since FC5. FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security issues only. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4 and is a security issue, please reopen and assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it occurs on RHEL 3 or 4, please reassign or refile against that product. The codebase for pirut and pup is quite different, so existing bugs do not apply, but please continue testing them on the still supported versions of Fedora Core and file bugs as necessary. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040217 Description of problem: When graphical up2date detects a package dependency error, then it gives a Warning! in a modal dialog box which makes it impossible for the user to scroll through the pacakge list until the modal warning is dismissed. So the user must remember the package names and cause(s) of the error while trying to chnage the package selections. Instead, it should be possible to scroll and change the package list while Warning is still visible. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-gnome-4.3.11-2.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select packages which will cause a dependency error, and try to go Forward. 2. Get the Warning! about package dependency error. 3. Try to scroll or change the package selection list before dismissing the Warning. Actual Results: Scrolling or changing the package selection list is inhibited as long as the Warning! dialog box has not been dismissed. Expected Results: The user should be able to refer to the Warning while trying to fix the problem by inspecting and changing the package list. Additional info: Workaround: copy+paste the text of the Warning into a temporary editor buffer, dismiss the Warning dialog. Now you can scroll and change the package list.
