The stack trace in the log file is from a rogue debugging statement. The application isnt actually crashing, but is dumping a stack trace of the utility at some point in the program without actually crashing. The next version of the client will have this debugging statement removed. So the program is exiting and that's why it doesn't finish the update? Is there a workaround so my update will complete? When is the next version due and will this fix my issue? the log file is indeed a red herring. retreiveOnly is turned on by default in up2date-2.7.2-7.x.6. because of this, rpm files are transferred, but not installed. running up2date-config and turning off retreiveOnly, will allow up2date to apply transfers. i'm betting i'm not the only one with keyboard dents in his forehead over this. It was turned off. However, once I removed the files in the /var/spool/up2date/ and reran the program, it seemed to work ok now. I had the same problem, the backtrace from the core I once got, showed that the fault is from librpm in function rpm_header()..., I just did 'rm - f /var/spool/up2date' and everything worked fine :-). |
