Description Nate Straz 2009-05-14 20:34:04 UTC 
Description of problem:

When yum downloads packages and prints out progress messages, the lines are truncated so they don't show what is being downloaded.

I can't reproduce this ... can I have access to the box this is happening on?
Are you doing anything "weird", like pipe output to expect?
Comment 2 James Antill 2009-05-18 15:43:19 UTC 
Nate, ping?
Comment 3 Nate Straz 2009-05-18 15:55:46 UTC 
Sorry, I must have missed your earlier add.

This appears to be a problem when I run yum via the serial console.  I just tried it over a serial console and via ssh.  The serial console still truncated the output, but the ssh session looked correct.
Comment 4 James Antill 2009-05-18 16:17:29 UTC 
Ahh, right ... yeh, this is a urlgrabber "bug" in that we call fcntl.ioctl(fd, termios.TIOCGWINSZ, buf) ... and it reutrns 0.
 yum itself works around this by doing 0 == 80, which should probably be moved down into urlgrabber itself.

 I'll propose for 5.5
Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2009-11-06 19:05:50 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in
the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like
this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your
support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".
Comment 6 James Antill 2010-07-02 17:00:25 UTC 
urlgrabber is on the 5.6 list, so we should fix this too.
