up2date --configure Retrieval/Installation Turn on: "Retreive source RPM along with binary package" up2date -u If no source package is available, the up2date process fails. This may or may not be correct behavior. I suspect incorrect. Proper behavior may be a warning?
changing comp to rhel4
Blocking rhnupr4u4 and rhnupr3u8 to track the progress of the release
Moving bugs to the CanFix List
Now the user will be shown a warning message, but up2date will continue to run.

"Retrieval/Installation" corresponds to "retrieveSource" (Comment: Retrieve source RPM along with binary package) in the --nox version of up2date. Packages tested: up2date-4.4.69-8 rhnlib-1.8.7-1 This does not fail cleanly as hoped: [root@test07 root]# up2date --get acroread Fetching all package list for channel: rhel-i386-as-3... ######################################## Fetching all package list for channel: rhel-i386-as-3-extras... ######################################## Fetching all package list for channel: rhn-tools-rhel-3-as-i386... ######################################## Fetching all package list for channel: rhel-i386-as-3-fastrack... ######################################## Fetching package list for channel: rhel-i386-as-3... ######################################## Fetching package list for channel: rhel-i386-as-3-extras... ######################################## Fetching package list for channel: rhn-tools-rhel-3-as-i386... ######################################## Fetching package list for channel: rhel-i386-as-3-fastrack... ######################################## acroread-7.0.1-1.1.0.EL3.i386.rpm... ######################################## An error has occurred: exceptions.Exception See /var/log/up2date for more information [Mon May 15 12:15:19 2006] up2date File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 1282, in ? sys.exit(main() or 0) File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 708, in main return getPackages(pkgNames) File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 1062, in getPackages onlySource = source) File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2date.py", line 188, in getPackage msgCallback, progressCallback) File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rpcServer.py", line 236, in doCall ret = apply(method, args, kwargs) File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/repoDirector.py", line 40, in getPackageSource return self.handlers[channel['type']].getPackageSource(channel, pkg, msgCallback, progressCallback) File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rpmSource.py", line 201, in getPackageSource MsgCallback, progressCallback) File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/repoBackends/up2dateRepo.py", line 242, in getPackageSource fd = self.s.getPackageSource(channel['label'], filename) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rhn/rpclib.py", line 609, in __call__ result = self._send(self._name, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rhn/rpclib.py", line 397, in _request raise Exception("Error requesting with the server:: error code:: %s" % save_response)

up2date --get now fails with a proper warning message if the source RPM is not found: "warning: source RPM for acroread was not found."
