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! Closing per lack of response to previous comment. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4 and is a security issue, please assign to Fedora Legacy and the appropriate version. The bug could also be filed against RHEL if it is relevant there. up2date has been replaced by pirut and pup in FC5 and FC6, the still fully supported versions of Fedora Core, so this bug will not be fixed unless it is a security issue. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: Fresh install of FC3test3 Up2date red middle finger clicked Start up2date Selected all packages, including up2date, loaded all headers, removed python to work around reported dependency problem -> gets frozen after downloading first few packages. Re-started selecting only up2date package to be updated. Update seems to work, red finger gone, saying "all is updated". But I had seen many newer versions of packages (e.g. I saw a new gcc), so this must be a lie. After checking config I find /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources is simply GONE. If up2date is really unusable, then please drop it from Fedora CORE3, having no automation for updating package is MUCH better than having a crappy non-working solution (this is just an assumption, but a query on the amount of open bugs on up2date seems to be consistent with this assumption, up2date seems to be a single-support-person product that is collecting dust in some lost drawer). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.3.47-5 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. install FC3 test3 2. run up2date on all packages 3. run up2date on just up2date (hint: exclude up2date-gnome or the forward button greys out) Actual Results: up2date sais all is in sync. Expected Results: up2date should support installing all new versions. Additional info: sources file was not renamed sources.orig, sources.$(timestamp) or moved to /tmp or some other backup area as decent software would do. A find -name 'sources*' detects no file on the whole filesystem.
