Description Dave Burgess 2006-01-22 22:47:04 UTC

Description of problem:

If pup is started and the network conenction is inactive.  Pup crashes almost
instantly.  An error message briefly appears on the screen and then pup and the
error message disappear.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Every time.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Network conenction is inactive (for any reason).
2. Start pup.
3. It "barfs".
  
Actual results:


Expected results:

I'd expect an informative error message and for it not to just "abort".  I
should have been able to activate my network connection and then jsut tell pup
to retry.

Can you give the error message you receive?  Running from a terminal might help
to keep the error persistent.

Also, what version of pup is installed?

Comment 2 Philip Wyett 2006-02-26 18:05:39 UTC

The error is constant if you attempt to run pup (Software Updater) with no
network / internet connectivity. Below is an error dump from pup when this is
the case.

// Starts

// Ends

Pup should ideally handle a lack of network / internet connectivity far more
elegantly.
