Description of problem: While using up2date applet to retrive updates in X, up2date hangs when downloading updates for NetworkManager-0.3.3-1 and NetworkManager-gnome-0.3. Requires bind.i386 and caching-nameserver.noarch to be installed. up2date doesn't prompt to download or install these packages. If "yum update" is run from command prompt, packages update normally after answering "y" to prompt: Performing the following to resolve dependencies: Install: bind.i386 20:9.2.4-2 Install: caching-nameserver.noarch 0:7.3-3 Is this ok [y/N]: y Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Do not install bind or caching nameserver on install, and query for updates using up2date applet in X. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: up2date is a simplified way to use yum, therefore it must be able to handle a simple de-confliction such as simply downloading dependencies to satisfy updates, or giving the user a choice. It could be specified in preferences. New and inexperienced users will trip over this one, but advanced users will be able to work around it easily. To work around it: run "yum update" from the command line as root. answer "y" to download and install the programs to fulfill the dependencies.
what version of up2date?
I am using: up2date-4.3.47-5 up2date-gnome-4.3.47-5 yum-2.1.12-0.fc3 When I used the gui in X, the gui program appeared to lock up. When I used yum it proceeded quickly and normally.
here is the output from yum when I figured out the problem and successfully downloaded the updates: [root@computer yum.repos.d]# yum update Setting up Update Process Setting up Repo: base repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Setting up Repo: updates-released repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files base : ################################################## 2622/2622 primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 211 kB 00:01 MD Read : ################################################## 496/496 updates-re: ################################################## 496/496 Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

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.
