From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030922 Description of problem: When I issue the command: up2date --channel=helpdesk-ws3-laptop --installall I get returned to a command prompt with no action having been taken. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-4.2.5-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run: up2date --channel=foo --installall Actual Results: Returned to command line, no action Expected Results: Retreival and installation of all packages in requested channel. Additional info:
up2date --showall --channel=foo is also broken. At this point we have no way of installing all packages in a requested channel.
fix is in up2date-4.2.7, whenever it becomes available.
There are a few workarounds. The easiest for most users is: up2date --showall --show-channel | grep CHANNEL-LABEL | perl -lane 'print $F[0]' | xargs up2date
Actually, you still have to strip the version off $0. The full command would be something on the order of: up2date $(up2date --showall --show-channel | grep CHANNEL-LABEL | perl -lane 'print $F[0]'|sed -e 's/-[^-]*-[^-]*$//' | uniq)
Created attachment 98293 [details] patch to make installall work After running into this bug, but before I went searching in bugzilla, I came up with this patch. It's trivial to manually apply if you don't like the workaround already given.
Any ETA on getting an errata out on this? The version that shipped w/ RHEL3 (up2date-4.0.1-1) didn't have this problem.
u2 update pack will have a fix for this.
