Forgot to say in my original bugzilla post. I statred getting this error yesterday, after the latest yum update. Until then, Never had such a problem with yum. I've made no special changes to the system, just yum updated. Thanks. I've just found out that the problem is with a yum plugin called "fastestmirror". If I do "yum search kernel --disableplugin=fastestmirror" everything works well. The problem started yesterday, and I've made no changes to the system except yum update. I have the following yum plugins installed. "downloadonly" & "fastestmirror" I've removed "yum-fastestmirror" (the problem went away) and reinstalled it (the problem came back) Yes, as you already have detected does the problem occours in the fastestmirror plugin. Luke, Any comments I patched fastestmirror the other day to make it throttle the way it dispatches threads. It adds a 'maxthreads' configuration option, which defaults to 15. Please put this file in /usr/lib/yum-plugins and try and reproduce the issue. http://devel.linux.duke.edu/gitweb/?p=yum-utils.git;a=blob_plain;f=plugins/fastestmirror/fastestmirror.py;hb=a112f75c93c33b6e8f7b59a1e4694f0aecbf9f5e yum-fastestmirror-1.1.10 has been out for a while now, which should resolve this issue. Please re-open this bug if this problem still occurs. Thanks! |
