Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 144042
up2date shows error when fetching errors, but finding none
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:57 EST
Description of problem: When I find a red icon on the panel, I use up2date from a gnome terminal logged in as root (su -). Sometimes, up2date finds nothing on one site, so I try another. Sometimes, it then reports an error. I have attached the text at the end of this description. Also, in stead of reporting "your system is fully updated", the popup window hangs indefinitely until I end it (the normal way). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Use up2date when there are changes, but not all mirrors already have the changes. The error only occurs once every 4 or 5 times. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: error report and the last popup window stays in place indefinitely. Expected results: the popup window disappears and up2date tells me my system is fully updated. Additional info: I will attach the error message of up2date in an attachment.
Created attachment 109303 [details] error text of 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 up2date has been replaced by pirut and pup in FC5 and FC6, the still fully supported versions of Fedora Core, so this bug will not be fixed unless it is a security issue.
