From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031016 Description of problem: On attempt to install a package requiring dependencies up2date hangs if the dependencies are not already satisfied. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-4.1.16-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add "apt macromedia http://ruslug.rutgers.edu/macromedia/apt fedora/1 macromedia" 2. make sure compat-libstdc++ RPM is *not* installed. 3. run "up2date flash-plugin" Actual Results: up2date hangs after printing "Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies..." Ctrl-C kills the process with the message "There was some sort of I/O error: [Errno 4] Interrupted system call". Expected Results: Packages required for resolving dependencies should be located and installed (or a graceful error exit if they cannot be resolved). Additional info: Also tried with apt and with yum for livna repo and installing mplayer.

With Fedora Core 3 test 1 "rawhide" this seems to work fine. The current behavior is for up2date to advise of other rpm's required to be updated in order to satisfy dependencies, ask for permission, and then get them as well. I believe this worked in Core 2, also. Can you confirm? -Chris Kuivenhoven
Yes, it appears to work with FC2. I just installed Frozen Bubble from Livna and it grabbed SDL_ttf from Fedora Extras with no problem. (flash-plugin no longer depends on compat-libstdc++, so I couldn't try exactly the same situation as failed oriinally.)
The integration of libsilc with gaim caused up2date to obtain libsilc for me yesterday. The only problems I have with up2date updating packages at this point are just package dependencies where the packages just need to be updated (and this typically just takes a day or so) and is being tracked in another bug. Unless you want to test further, sounds like you can mark this one as RESOLVED. :) Thanks for the quick followup! -Chris
OK Done. Thanks.
