This is the expected behavior, though; with the CLI, we ask if things are okay. If you don't want to be asked (in cases like this), then you should pass -y Yes but surely "EOFError: EOF when reading a line" is not "expected behaviour", it's an error condition? Note, this is not just a warning message, it does actually cause yum to fail. I can confirm this bug is still in yum-3.0.5-2.fc6.x86_64, I just tried it. +1 reopen this bug. |
Description of problem: Yum fails with the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 29, in ? yummain.main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 172, in main base.doTransaction() File "/usr/share/yum-cli/cli.py", line 388, in doTransaction if not self.userconfirm(): File "/usr/share/yum-cli/output.py", line 115, in userconfirm choice = raw_input('Is this ok [y/N]: ') EOFError: EOF when reading a line Command called: Many examples: echo "gphoto2" | awk '{print "sudo yum remove "$0}' | /bin/sh echo "wine" | xargs sudo yum remove Etc. Using the "-y" flag circumvents the above condition (but is not ideal). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.0.3-1.fc6 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Call yum with indirect args 2. 3. Actual results: EOFError: EOF when reading a line Expected results: Should parse the args correctly. Additional info: This makes writing scripts for yum a real pain. Also, this is not really a new bug. I've noticed this behaviour before, but never got around to reporting it.
