Description Jon Stanley 2011-03-01 04:53:38 UTC

Just to get this into a bug report from an IRC conversation :)

If a package exists in cached metadata, but it couldn't be downloaded from any mirror (or the baseurl not using mirrorlists), yumdownloader will exit with status 0. A simple reproducer is to set proxies to things that don't exist so that nothing can be downloaded.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 17:35:03 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
