Fedora Core 2 is now 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 FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
After continuously using up2date since upgrading to FC3, there's still some stuff left in /var/spool/up2date that does not get cleaned up. ls -alt | tail shows: -rw------- 1 root root 14024 Jun 19 13:58 Canna-libs-3.7p1-6.i386.hdr -rw------- 1 root root 5440 Jun 19 13:58 Coin2-2.3.0-0.fdr.4.2.i386.hdr -rw------- 1 root root 13632 Jun 19 13:40 bittorrent-3.4.1-0.fdr.2.a.1.91.noarch.hdr -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 222288 Jun 19 13:40 fedora-us-stable-2-all.1000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 96348 Jun 19 13:40 livna-stable-fc2-all.1000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 628775 Jun 19 13:40 fedora-core-2-all.1000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 179857 Jun 19 13:40 updates-released-fc2-all.1000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 96348 Jun 19 13:39 livna-stable-fc2.20050617111751 -rw------- 1 root root 7004 Jun 19 13:39 psi-i18n-0.9.3-0.fdr.1.2.i386.hdr -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131 Jun 12 14:39 fedora-core-2-obsoletes.1000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131 Jun 12 14:39 livna-stable-fc2-obsoletes.1000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131 Jun 12 14:39 updates-released-fc2-obsoletes.1000 -rw------- 1 root root 3824 Jun 12 14:39 subtitleripper-0.3-0.lvn.2.4.2.i386.hdr -rw------- 1 root root 15096 Jun 12 14:39 clamav-0.85-0.fdr.1.2.i386.hdr -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 131 Jun 12 14:39 fedora-us-stable-2-obsoletes.1000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 628775 Jun 12 14:33 fedora-core-2.20040513151100 -rw------- 1 root root 5140 Jun 12 14:33 freeradius-postgresql-0.9.3-4.i386.hdr -rw------- 1 root root 10137 Jun 12 14:33 info-4.7-4.i386.hdr I used to have channels called "fedora-us-stable-2", "fedora-core-2" and "livna-stable-fc2". But those channels have been removed a long time ago, after upgrading to FC3. They no longer exist, yet files that relate to those channels still remain in /var/spool/up2date.
Fedora Core 3 is now 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. Thank you!
Closing per lack of response to previous comment. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4 and is a security issue, please assign to Fedora Legacy and the appropriate version. The bug could also be filed against RHEL if it is relevant there. up2date has been replaced by pirut and pup in FC5 and FC6, the still fully supported versions of Fedora Core, so this bug will not be fixed unless it is a security issue.
