yeah, that all needs to be written to be sane. The current arg parsing code base is pretty out of hand already. I should be able to fix it for the next major release. How about if if cant find any solutions for those deps it prints: No packages were found that satisfy those dependencies. and exits? Sound like expected behaviour? sounds good to me - could the error line list the deps in the ilst that couldn't get
satisfied, though? I think if pushed up to whatprovides() it'd also handle cases where
unknown deps are just ignored by --whatprovides
jmm@bp6:/home/jmm> sudo up2date --whatprovides=kernelxxx
jmm@bp6:/home/jmm> sudo up2date --whatprovides=kernel,kernelxxx,kernel-headers
kernel-2.4.9-31
kernel-headers-2.4.9-31
so if whatprovides() can do the required print/log/whatever'ing so that unsolvable
deps get spit back to the user, then we're all set (well, solvedeps still needs to
act sane, of course :)
whatprovides() silently ignoring unsolvable deps is made more obvious with
the above barfing on the unsolvable dep (original report here) but as soon as
a solvable dep is also in the list, we're "fine"
jmm@bp6:/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client> sudo up2date --solvedeps=kernel,kernelx
Retrieving list of all available packages...
Removing installed packages from list of updates...
########################################
Removing packages with files not specified from list...
There are no packages available for update.
None of the packages you requested were found, or they are already updated.
which makes me think that (aside from notifying of specific unsolvable deps)
we may need to just exit if there's nothing coming back from whatprovides

if up2date.cfg.readEntry("showChannels"):
channels = up2date.loginInfo['X-RHN-Auth-Channels']
but I'm not sure how that affects expected behavior elsewhere
The bit of patch is basically exactly what I did. The other more sophisticated logic cases may have to wait for a redesign. Better handling of the many varied cases of "sort of failures" is on the plan for the next major version. It's kind of up there with "generic handling for special cases" the above fix should be in 2.7.63 or so (fixed in cvs already) I'm gonna flag this one as closed with RAWHIDE as the status. The more elaborate behaviour would make a good RFE. |
the --solvedeps stuff seems to work well enough for packages it knows about, but the resulting output for unknown packages is a bit odd [root@bp6 up2date_client]# up2date --solvedeps kernelx No interactive mode available Please specify either -l, -u, --nox, or package names as command line arguments.
