Bug 445319

What I see for way too long when trying to install software

Okay, somewhere around the 15 minute mark it finished "Downloading file lists"
only to tell me that there are no "Games" packages.  It's says "No results were
found"

I would have expected something in the list.

There seems to be two problems here.  The listing takes too long to appear (I
had assumed it wasn't working) and when it does 'work' you don't get anything in
the listing.

Does yum search games work?

Yes, and very quickly.

What about "yum whatprovides /usr/bin/kpowersave" - also, if you do "yum clean
all" - does that fix things?

I tried the yum clean thing and then run System > Administration > Add/Remove
Software and it took 20 minutes to finally display software in Games.

On the bright side of things, it now displays software in Games.

I re-run it and this time is listed the software in Games much faster (under a
minute).

While it's solved the problem to some degree it does raise a couple of issues.

1. That was wrong that it wouldn't display packages in Games (or other areas)
without having to run `yum clean all`?

2. Why did it take so long to show packages after a 'yum clean all'?

3. Why am I seeing three copies of all the packages? (I'll attach a screenshot
of this)

Three listing for every package?

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

I think you attached the wrong screenshot.

Right, I hope this is fixed now.
