That was a graceful exit under unknown circumstances, not a crash. When in command line mode (batch mode) we don't want any interaction beyond command line options. This was a server side problem that should be corrected by now. Same "graceful exit" also happened when using GUI version. As experienced user I'm used to this kind of "features" in Linux programs but think about John Newbie who just installed his first RedHat Linux and wanted to update it. J. Newbie might feel quite stupid when the up2date program "gracefully exits". I still consider this behaviour as a bug. No client should die in event of predictable error event (imagine [your favourite www-browser] to die when 404 happens ;). In this case there should be a way to tell the up2date client to skip "errorneus" or something packages. That's all folks. Apparently the server is having problems again? I am getting the same type of error while running up2date in gnome: ...Getting headers for available packages... then a dialog box comes up with something like: There was a fatal error communicating with the server. The message was: ] ERROR: File not found INFO: Unable to access RPM package: ['netscape-communicator','4.76','1','3'] *** Bug 33708 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** this was a temporary server side issue (the FTP server reorg) and has not occured since. |
