I get almost the same error, but with slightly different (yet still
incomprehensible) messages. Here is the output of up2date:

I have a i686 system and RedHat Linux 9. And unfortunately I have a very slow
Internet connection. I think that this error might be caused by a time-out, but
still no error message indicates this.
I forgot to mention that I use up2date-3.1.23-1 The following command seemed to cure it for me: rm -f $(find /var/spool/up2date -type f | grep -v rpm$) Before this, I ran the following (but this didn't seem to cure it because I still had to run the above) killall up2date killall rpm rm -fr /var/lib/rpm/__* up2date -p Still happens in up2date-3.1.23.2-1 under RedHat 9:

Above appeared in Terminal console when running up2date in background ["up2date
&"] and choosing "View advisory" when sane-backends-1.0.9-5.1 was the only item
in the out-of-date list, and was selected.
Removing security severity. This is not a security issue. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Description of problem: When running up2date on a 7.3 machine, the error output at the bottom occurs. This machine was offline awile, but I was able to run up2date package by package to narrow it down to something in the KDE advisory (RHSA-2003:002 - Security Advisory). If it matters, I'm running up2date via SSH, but I also had the same problem via VNC.
