From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031027 Description of problem: yum can't be interrupted by <ctrl>c. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.0.4-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Get yourself a internet access (modem, ISDN etc) and try use yum. The accidentially run a "yum update" on a somewhat outdated Fedora/Rawhide installation. Yum doen't show the size of downloads in advance to downloads, so subsequent downloads can take an arbitrary amount of time and produce arbitray costs. Actual Results: yum doesn't react upon pressing <ctrl>c. Expected Results: yum should be interruptable at any time. Additional info:
^C terminates for me: # yum upgrade Unable to find pid Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Raw Hide Linux Exiting on User Cancel Also # yum upgrade Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: Raw Hide Linux Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Finding obsoleted packages Resolving dependencies Yes there may be other conditions that are not interruptible, but I sure don't remember seeing one in the last 6 months.
FWIW: I had been able to deterministically reproduce this with the initial release of FC1. Meanwhile, after some kernel and/or glibc2 updates, this problem only occurs sporadically, esp. with badly reachable or overloaded servers like download.fedora.redhat.com after a kernel or glibc update.
