Comment 2 paul nicholson 2004-12-07 15:30:43 UTC
I've got that problem as well Joe!

Comment 3 Steve Fischer 2005-08-23 14:28:26 UTC
while line numbers are different, I got pretty much an identical error to Joe.  
Is there any fix ?

Comment 4 Steve Fischer 2005-08-23 14:30:12 UTC
I got the error in fc4, after upgrading from fc3, FWIW.

Comment 5 Matthew Miller 2006-07-10 20:35:37 UTC
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!


Comment 6 John Thacker 2006-10-29 15:01:54 UTC
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up2date has been replaced by pirut and pup in FC5 and FC6, the still fully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.
