Description Ralf Corsepius 2005-07-28 04:19:38 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050719 Fedora/1.7.10-1.5.1

Description of problem:
yum is not able to correctly print package names containing certain characters during updates:

gcc-c%2B%2B-4.0.1-4.fc4.i 100% |=========================|  22 kB    00:00
---> Package gcc-c++.i386 0:4.0.1-4.fc4 set to be updated
---> Downloading header for apr-devel to pack into transaction set.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-2.3.2-7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install an old verstion of gcc-g++
2. yum update


Actual Results:  yum update
...
gcc-c%2B%2B-4.0.1-4.fc4.i 100% |=========================|  22 kB    00:00
---> Package gcc-c++.i386 0:4.0.1-4.fc4 set to be updated
---> Downloading header for apr-devel to pack into transaction set.
...

Note the %2B's in the log above


Expected Results:  Correctly formated message

Additional info:

it's converting the string before requesting it from the webserver.

hence the printed name.

does this affect functionality at all?

AFAICT, this is a minor, cosmetical UI thing. It's "just ugly" and "a bit
confusing", that's all.

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2005-09-21 19:29:52 UTC
Does this happen with 2.4.0?

No, AFAIS, it doesn't seem to happen anymore with 2.4.0.

Comment 5 Jon Burgess 2005-09-23 22:58:05 UTC
It happens for me with 2.4.0, but doesn't appear to cause me any issues.

[root@shark ~]# rpm -q yum
yum-2.4.0-4

[root@shark ~]# yum --enablerepo=development update gcc-c++ 
...

gcc-c%2B%2B-4.0.1-14.x86_ 100% |=========================|  28 kB    00:00

Should be better with newer python-urlgrabber
