Description of problem: Using yumex I can select a package to be installed, then add it to queue, and then process the queue. With some package (for example bittorrent) I repeatedly install the package, all reporting from yum is that is installed ok. However, it never really gets installed. Using yum install bittorrent works fine. Currently I use yumex to check what is still to be installed and then enter yum install <xxx> <yyy> by hand. This bug may or may not be related to the only other yumex bug in FC5 I could find: 186227 "sometimes installs instead of upgrades". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.99.14 How reproducible: It is not clear to me, when this occurs. I had it with several packages and thought nothing of it, until it repeated itself with bittorrent, several times. This was only solved when I used yum from the command line. Steps to Reproduce: 1. select a package in "install" 2. add it to a queue 3. process the queue (safe) Actual results: All reports are that install was successful. Sometimes it is not. Expected results: An install reported success, is in fact successful. Additional info: I do not have another example now, but will add one as soon as one occurs.
I have another example now, which I did not install using yum, so it is repeatable (and I repeated it). The package is gnome-translate version 0.99-6.fc5 on X86_64. The package is on the extra repository. Do you need to see specific output for this package? Guus Bonnema.
