But that is the point. RPM should abort gracefully in such condition. Here is a different case. Unfortunatly, it only occurs within our internal network and thus, I cannot provide an example on the Internet you can try. In this case, rpm hangs. rpm -Uhv http://someserver/fedora/4/i386/apt.rpm Retrieving http://someserver/fedora/4/i386/apt.rpm error: open of <!DOCTYPE failed: No such file or directory error: open of HTML failed: No such file or directory error: open of PUBLIC failed: No such file or directory <hang here> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.4.1-21 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See description.
