Description Todd Warner 2004-06-22 21:04:17 UTC

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?

Comment 1 Adrian Likins 2004-09-02 15:54:00 UTC

changing comp to rhel4

Comment 4 Fanny Augustin 2006-04-11 00:34:51 UTC

Blocking rhnupr4u4 and rhnupr3u8 to track the progress of the release

Comment 5 Fanny Augustin 2006-04-13 19:40:32 UTC

Moving bugs to the CanFix List

Comment 6 James Bowes 2006-04-27 23:52:56 UTC

Now the user will be shown a warning message, but up2date will continue to run.

Re-aligning to correct bug trackers

Comment 11 Beth Nackashi 2006-05-15 16:20:38 UTC

"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

Comment 12 Beth Nackashi 2006-06-01 15:11:59 UTC

latest up2date and rhnlib packages:

/dist/3.0E-U8/up2date/4.4.69-10
/dist/3.0E-U8/rhnlib/1.8.7-3

Comment 13 Beth Nackashi 2006-06-01 17:06:27 UTC

up2date --get now fails with a proper warning message if the source RPM is not
found:

"warning: source RPM for acroread was not found."

The actual RPM does get retrieved:

[root@bnackash-64 tmp]# ll /var/spool/up2date/acroread-7.0.1-1.1.0.EL3.i386.*
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        28916 Jun  1 13:13
/var/spool/up2date/acroread-7.0.1-1.1.0.EL3.i386.hdr
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     35777640 Jun  1 13:13
