From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: fedora-pending-unstable... Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: flash... Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: livna-stable-fc1... Fetching rpm headers... There was some sort of I/O error: Not a gzipped file These are the last few lines from up2date. After the GUI hung, I tried to get xmms by itself. It appears that one person's carelessness (which is not infrequent) renders the tool and all repositories useless unless the repository list is modified, until the bad file is replaced. The GUI hung while getting a header for MAKEDEV, or so it was displaying. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-4.3.1-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put a bad file on an up2date repository. 2. 3. Additional info: Some workaround would be nice. Try the download again, to see if it is a spurious error. If not, go on without that file. Obviously this make still make it impossible to use due to dependencies sometimes. The way it is now, it is unusable until someone replaces the file. This happens too often not to program a way to deal with it. A minimum fix would be to report the repository with the problem, so one could continue to use the tool without having to figure out what is broken in the absence of specific diagnostics from the tool.
Please could someone update this to confirm if it is a problem with the mirror. I also have this fault and i dont believe it is the mirror - i have one machine that gets the error and another that works fine but the same mirrors are used - could it be a fault in sources file?? Thanks
I get this constantly. fc3t3.
Fedora Core 1 is maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thanks! NOTE: Fedora Core 1 is reaching the final end of support even by the Legacy project. After Fedora Core 6 Test 2 is released (currently scheduled for July 26th), there will be no more security updates for FC1. Please use these next two weeks to upgrade any remaining FC1 systems to a current release.
Closing per lack of response. Note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy. Please install a still supported version and retest. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4 and is a security issue, please assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. Note that up2date is not present in FC5 or FC6, the only current non-Legacy Fedora Core releases. However, related bugs may occur in yum, pirut, or other updating mechanisms.
