Description Paul W. Frields 2003-10-10 23:54:32 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031008

Description of problem:
Just upgraded to up2date-4.1.5-1 (about 30 sec ago)... progress dialog is frozen
at the "Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies" stage. There are a
large number of entries in the main dialog for Canna-3.6-22, I can't tell how
many due to the modality of the progress dialog.

I notice that the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file has commented out the default
line for "up2date default", and instead only has a persistent directive for "yum
rawhide http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/".

Changing the directive back to the default and re-running up2date fixed the
problem, apparently, since the update is now working correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up2date-4.1.5-1

How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run up2date for nightly fix of... er, fixes
2. up2date prompts whether I want to immediately install and use new version of
up2date... answer YES
3. Watch strange behavior with progress dialog and main dialog
    

Actual Results:  Progress dialog for dependency solution opens but does not
progress past zero... Meanwhile, main dialog fills with entries for the first
package, Canna-3.6-22.

Expected Results:  Update should complete per normal.

Additional info:

FC-0.94, has been updated as of yesterday (Oct 09 2003) with all packages except
for fedora-release-0.95 (owing to channel mismatch, which I am simply going to
wait to see shaken out).

Comment 1 Gerry Tool 2003-10-11 00:56:20 UTC

Had similar occurrence, but restarting and accepting all packages including the
fedora-release-0.95 made it work.  Only channel in up2date is now rawhide which
under channel information says yum channel rawhide from 
http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/.

All seems to be working now with this channel and fedora-release-0.95.

Comment 2 Paul W. Frields 2003-10-11 01:27:04 UTC

My system does not have yum installed (only because it apparently didn't install
as part of the standard groups I used; I didn't customize much). That might be
responsible for the problem. In that case, having the up2date package assume I
have yum present, and simply turning off the default use of the up2date source,
seems like a Bad Idea. A different %postinstall script could probably take care
of this, but I don't want to presume motive on the part of the maintainers and
RHN intellegentsia.

Comment 3 Paul W. Frields 2003-10-11 01:30:28 UTC

Double-dumb-*** on me, I suppose adding yum to the package requirements for
fedora-release-0.95 would also take care of the problem.

Comment 4 Andy Green 2003-10-11 08:07:46 UTC

I had the same behaviour, yum was not installed on my machine either. 
 
Stuck in CD3 and did as root: 
 
rpm -i /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/yum-2.0.3-1.noarch.rpm 
 
Up2date still sits there with low (~10% of Athlon 1900+) CPU showing Progress 
Dialog and not updating its display when made dirty by putting another window 
over it, for example.  Looks locked up but I don't think it is.  Waited ten 
minutes and captured lsof

Comment 5 Andy Green 2003-10-11 09:45:59 UTC

By selecting packages to upgrade singly and installing, which worked, it 
became clear that the stall at the ''testing package set solving 
interdependencies dialog'' stage is being driven by certain packages being 
selected.  For example, a couple of dozen random packages installed fine when 
selected singly, but selecting the "cadaver" package for upgrade singly or 
with others (the UI says cadaver version 0.22.0-1 available vs 0.21.0-2 
installed) causes the 'freeze'.

Comment 6 Barry K. Nathan 2003-10-11 16:49:01 UTC

up2date 3.9.x and up have a *built-in* yum client. yum does not need to be
installed for it to access yum repositories! 

Also note that using yum repos, whether via yum or up2date, is typically much
slower than using RHN in my experience.

I haven't tried up2date 4.x yet so I can't comment one way or another on the
validity of this bug, but I think the above info might be relevant...

Comment 7 Gene Czarcinski 2003-10-11 17:11:36 UTC

OK, according to messages on fedora-test-list, the following has occured:

1.  fedora-release-0.95 was added to rhn on Thursday (somewhat of a goof ... was
in rawhide and moved to rhn).  One that was done, your could not access the
servern test 2 (or updates channel).  You could get around this by getting the
old fedora-release-0.94 package and installing it or installing the
redhat-release-0.94-2 package.

2. To "fix" this situation, a new up2date package was put on rhn (and rawhide).
 This up2date changed the source of packages to rawhide (rather than rhn) with
yum access (I have been told by Bill Bottingham that up2date has builtin yum
support and the separate yum package is not needed ... I have not tested this).

Apparently, the soon to be released "test 3" (Beta 3), will be using rawhide as
the source for updated rather than having a separate rhn/updates channel and
rawhide.

All of this was discussed in messages on fedora-test-list.

While I think this could have been handled with more notification, I believe the
goal of a single updates channel being rawhide should save time and effort for
the red Hat folks and thus be to our benefit.

It is your bug but I don't think it will really help anything and suggest you
close it.  If you get the new up2date, everything should work with rawhide being
the source.

Comment 8 Adrian Likins 2003-10-13 16:48:11 UTC

indeed, up2date by default uses a yum channel pointing at 
the rawhide channel now. 

And yes, solving deps via yum repos are very very slow
the first time (it downloads _every_ header), so
that could be the cause of the "freeze". 

I'll probabaly take a look at prettying up the
dep solve callbacks for yum repos sometime
soon, since it gotten more importantly recently.

Comment 9 Paul W. Frields 2003-10-14 13:14:47 UTC

Given the recent disclosures about the changes to up2date and the fact that the
yum repo is working fine for everyone (including me) now, I'm going to close
this as NOTABUG. Thanks to everyone for the assistance.
