Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Marian Ganisin 2015-09-10 06:45:12 UTC
Description of problem:

preupg
This kind of execution:

# yes | preupg --debug

causes following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/preupg", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/bin/preupg", line 20, in main
    ret = app.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/preup/application.py", line 680, in run
    tarball_path = self.scan_system()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/preup/application.py", line 516, in scan_system
    self.run_scan_process()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/preup/application.py", line 290, in run_scan_process
    self.run_scan(function=self.scanning_progress.show_progress)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/preup/application.py", line 307, in run_scan
    return run_subprocess(cmd, print_output=False, function=function)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/preup/utils.py", line 140, in run_subprocess
    function(stdout_data.decode(settings.defenc))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/preup/scanning.py", line 86, in show_progress
    self.width_size = int(ScanProgress.get_terminal_width()[1])
IndexError: list index out of range

I can just guess get ScanProgress.get_terminal_width reads attributes of stdin, however in this case stdin isn't tty.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
preupgrade-assistant-2.1.0-7.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
write to stdin of preupg via pipe

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yes | preupg

Actual results:
Traceback raised.

Expected results:
No traceback
