yum doesnt fail gracefully on early user cancel
Last modified: 2014-01-21 17:50:46 EST
Description of problem: I start a package installation through yum and cancel it immediately. It fails with traceback Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install package. 2. cancel using control+c immediately Actual results: yum -y gnome-panel Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/yum", line 6, in ? import yummain File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 23, in ? import yum File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 35, in ? import depsolve File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py", line 30, in ? import packages File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/yum/packages.py", line 18, in ? import rpm KeyboardInterrupt Expected results: output: exit on user cancel Additional info: It does this correctly if cancelled after a minute or so
the main yum handler that captures the keyboard interrupt isn't loaded at that time. There's not much I can do.
I have no idea on the actual code but perhaps trying to load the keyboard handing module or something as early as possible might help
I load it in /usr/bin/yum, now. if you ctrl-c at that point it will try to catch it. beyond that, not a lot I can do. This is fixed in yum 2.1.12
