Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match. As of FC3/latest - up2date-4.3.47-5 - it no longer crashes, but it also no longer seems to be functioning. I've tried the original command $ up2date --whatprovides=sendmail-cf as well as a few others e.g. $ up2date --whatprovides=rpm $ up2date --whatprovides=up2date And none of these seem to return anything at all. Just a couple of server tries, but no packages or dependencies are listed. e.g. $ up2date --whatprovides=up2date http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/fedora-core-3 using mirror: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/os http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/updates-released-fc3 using mirror: http://ftp.esat.net/pub/linux/fedora/updates/3/i386/ $ Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you! I am promoting this to FC5 because now when you try the examples in comment #2, you get not response at all! $ up2date --whatprovides=sendmail-cf $ up2date --whatprovides=rpm $ up2date --whatprovides=up2date <...crickets...> There is no up2date in FC5... OK... Hmm... Well, I am running FC5 and up2date is definitely there (if not working properly). Perhaps this redefines this bug? It may have not gotten removed when you did an upgrade? I always remove up2date, so I'm not sure myself. Here are all the rpms from FC5: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/ up2date is clearly not there. Fair enough. up2date is not running properly because it is no longer supported. I will be happy to resubmit this issue as an installer/upgrade issue. I don't know which tool that should be - anaconda? yum? or something else. Removed programs are generally not removed by anaconda on upgrade, since the user may still want them. (It would be a bigger headache if they were removed.) pirut replaces up2date, but does not explicitly Obsolete it for various reasons, hence it's not removed. Please try with pirut/pup. |
