Description Peter Williams 2006-03-25 21:16:50 UTC
If I start the yum shell and try to install a package, it seems to start the
process, then bails:

$ sudo yum shell
> list gstreamer-devel
Setting up repositories
updates                                                              [1/3]
core                                                                 [2/3]
extras                                                               [3/3]
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Available Packages
gstreamer-devel.i386                     0.10.4-1               updates
> install gstreamer-devel
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
> 

(Needless to say gstreamer-devel was not already installed or anything.) Nothing
happens after the 'Parsing package install arguments'. Variants with other
packages, more than one package, etc all yield the same behavior.

Comment 1 Seth Vidal 2006-03-25 21:21:39 UTC
the whole point of the shell is so you can stack a set of commands therefore:

install gstreamer-devel
remove something else
install something

then you have to type 'run'
to run the transaction you've setup.

type 'help' for information on the shell.

Comment 2 Peter Williams 2006-03-25 21:37:23 UTC
My b.

Might I suggest:

> install gstreamer-devel
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Type 'run' to execute this transaction.

I did a yum help and didn't notice the 'run' command and if I had, I wouldn't
have thought that I needed to use it to execute the transaction.
