Description of problem: I've setup a series of screen shots on an html page which i believe is just as good an explanation as i could do w/ words-- if not better. please view: http://fedorashare.centrewebdesign.com/rhbugzilla/ this way, you won't have to read through my fumbled words. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): uname --all: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5 #1 Mon Sep 11 01:17:06 EDT 2006 i68 6 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Plus, all info is visible at http://fedorashare.centrewebdesign.com/rhbugzilla/ How reproducible: this has been on-going w/ yum all weekend (since thurs) Steps to Reproduce: 1. storyline is visible in screen captures. 2. please view: http://fedorashare.centrewebdesign.com/rhbugzilla/ 3. any use of yum for a "complete update" Actual results: error - no results Expected results: a normal update Additional info:
nothing in those pictures tells me why you think this is a bug in yum or yumex. it looks like an unresolvable dependency... not a bug. need more info if I'm going to diagnose.
hi. thanks for your attention to this. pardon me, but i don't understand your reply. should i wait for more feedback from other respondents? am i going to receive something more about what specific info is needed from me to aide in a resolve? if that's not what you mean-- then i don't know how to proceed, given your dialogue. i expect it would be recognized that this is the first i've submitted a 'bug report'. as far as my practice goes, there's little standard here.
I overlooked a file which I believe should belong to this series-- i had stored in a separate folder because it occurred on 09.29.06, roughly 30 hours before the others. although the other screens were captured more than 24 hours later, all actions leading up to the failure shown in this "new" image was the same as that shown in the previously published series-- hence the documentation of the series of operations i published earlier.
is there a recommendation for obtaining libsyck.so.0 as 'needed by package syck-python'? is there any recommended action at all? the persistence of this problem, moreover, the absence of any feedback here is quite discouraging. I appreciate that it's not commercial software, but ten days is ample time for a courtesy reply. i am disappointed.
Your disappointment is both unwarranted and inappropriate. Don't try throwing around guilt trips. It doesn't help anything and just annoys people, mostly me. I asked for more information and you gave me another picture. That's not helpful. I'd like you to describe what it is you think should be happening as a narrative or, better yet, just give me a reproducing behavior so I can see what you're claiming is wrong. So far all I can see is an unresolved dependency, no bug.
thanks for acknowledging my commentary-- you didn't have to take time to do that. I didn't realize you were expecting yet more from me-- so, although you are annoyed by my persistence, i'm glad i posted again. if you can't appreciate a person, especially someone who is in obvious lack of experience, not knowing how to proceed from an instruction of "need more info" when clearly, i asked for clairfication, how can you expect anything other than disappointment? i'm sorry you feel the way you do-- it doesn't reflect well upon the institution which you represent. i too work in a field in which a lot is expected of me-- often more than i am prepared to give, and indeed it is effort to maintain a professional discourse at times, so i can understand your frustration. considering the remarkable increase in the popularity of Linux, perhaps it would do your users well if you would take a moment to consider the diverse audience who have come to have a second-nature of relying on your assistance, and others like you. you must remember, i'm not a part of your user-group, or your community. again, i'm sorry that you feel the way you do about my feedback-- it didn't mean for it to come accross as an accusation, but an honest reflection of my feelings. inevitably, you will encounter disappointment. it's not easy to be so honest because i do respect your superior knowledge and, of course, the amount of effort you've given-- perhaps w/out an equal balance of reward or recognition. in providing my honest feedback, it was an effort to promote honest, positive growth. it is not out of disinterest, or disrespect for the Linux community, but the contrary. if one wheel doesn't squeak, how will you know where to put the oil? i sincerely apologize to you if you believe that i meant harm. as far as i'm concerned, the issue is closed.
