Description of problem: After a while the up2date process gets stuck, because it cannot open any more files. The reason for this is that it doesn't close sockets with a connection to the squid proxy on my network. Raising the ulimit to 4000 didn't help one bit, up2date simply went to the point of having 3999 open files and refused to go any further. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-3.9.18-2 How reproducible: 1. Install Severn B1 2. Try upgrading to severn-upgrades 3. Fail miserably Expected results: Proxy connections should be closed after the package is downloaded. Up2date should work. Additional info:
misa is taking a look at this, since it's presumably a rhnlib bug
Having troubles finding the B1 tree - will resume tomorrow.
OK, reproduced it.
Fixed in rhnlib 1.3-8 and higher.
Hmm, investigating some more.
OK, fixed in rhnlib-1.3-10 and later Rik, can you please install rhnlib-1.3-11 and check if the leak is still there?
