Description Richard W.M. Jones 2010-02-12 22:29:57 UTC

Description of problem:

yum in Rawhide displays empty error messages, such as:

  <URL>: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 6 - ""

(Also magic code 7 has been seen -- it seems to indicate a
proxy error).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


python-pycurl-7.19.0-4.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always (when there is an error to display).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum clean all
2. export http_proxy=http://nosuchserver.example.com:3128/
3. yum update
  
Actual results:

http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/12/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 5 - ""

Expected results:

Some sort of explanation, eg. "Proxy error", for errno 14 & pycurl code 5.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-02-12 22:30:35 UTC

Sorry, yum version is missing there.  It is:

yum-3.2.26-2.fc13.noarch

Comment 2 seth vidal 2010-02-12 22:36:24 UTC

I'll reassign this to ulgrabber - but right now pycurl offers no way to translate those error numbers to error codes.

so it needs to get fixed there.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2010-03-15 14:32:38 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle.
Changing version to '13'.

Comment 4 Akira YOSHIYAMA 2011-01-08 10:10:32 UTC

I got the same problem on RHEL6 and solved it.
Check DNS configuration. I had no entry in /etc/resolv.conf.
