This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
Description of problem: on my laptop (slow disk) simple yum operations are terribly slow. Shown here is an attempt to install a package that is not in any repository. Note: this is cache-hot run, previous runs which accessed servers to check for updates etc where even slower. Shown here for an 'xpra' package that fedora does not have. While yum is stalled, I see a ton of disk activity. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.29-9.fc15.noarch How reproducible: always, but need a laptop, not a desktop Steps to Reproduce: $ sudo yum -d 3 install xpra 2>&1 | perl -e 'print time(),"\n";while (<>){print time, " ", $_;}'1329261454 1329261459 Not loading "blacklist" plugin, as it is disabled 1329261460 Not loading "whiteout" plugin, as it is disabled 1329261460 Loaded plugins: aliases, auto-update-debuginfo, changelog, downloadonly, filter- 1329261460 : data, keys, langpacks, list-data, merge-conf, post-transaction- 1329261460 : actions, presto, priorities, protectbase, remove-with-leaves, 1329261460 : security, show-leaves, tmprepo, tsflags, upgrade-helper, verify, 1329261460 : versionlock 1329261460 Adding en_US to language list 1329261460 Adding to language list 1329261460 Config time: 1.048 1329261460 Yum Version: 3.2.29 1329261460 Setting up Package Sacks 1329261460 rpmdb time: 0.011 1329261460 Found 4 installed debuginfo package(s) 1329261460 Enabling rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-debuginfo: RPM Fusion for Fedora 15 - Nonfree - Updates Debug 1329261460 Enabling rpmfusion-nonfree-debuginfo: RPM Fusion for Fedora 15 - Nonfree - Debug 1329261460 Enabling rpmfusion-free-updates-debuginfo: RPM Fusion for Fedora 15 - Free - Updates Debug 1329261460 Enabling rpmfusion-free-debuginfo: RPM Fusion for Fedora 15 - Free - Debug 1329261463 Skipping filters plugin, no data 1329261463 0 packages excluded due to repository protections 1329261463 Reading version lock configuration 1329261463 pkgsack time: 2.982 1329261463 Setting up Install Process 1329261463 Checking for virtual provide or file-provide for xpra 1329261506 No package xpra available. 1329261539 Error: Nothing to do Actual results: You see a stall of ~1 minute afer 'Checking for virtual provide or file-provide for xpra' and half a minute after 'No package xpra available' In both places disk activity led on laptop lights up and stays on indicating heavy disk activity. iotop shows that it indeed it is yum that causes all this disk activity. Expected results: shouldn't take even a second to look up package and say it's not there Additional info: I don't see slowness on desktops. Probably a faster disk so heavy disk usage is less of an issue.
