There isn't much we can do about this, eventually you should hit a mirror where the DNS resolves within a normal amount of time. Running a local caching DNS server will also help. I must say that I come up against this bug constantly, including when on a wireless connection on my laptop. The following has almost become muscle memory as a workaround for this buggy behaviour. Ctrl-Z sudo ps sudo kill -9 <pid> Is a fix, to have a tiny sleep before the next mirror is contacted, so that control-c actually does works. I think it is really bad behaviour to have information given to the user "Current download cancelled, interrupt (ctrl-c) again within two seconds to exit." that isn't correct. Either one lookup gets stuck, or holding ctrl-c down goes through every mirror, instead of cancelling the yum command. |
