Description of problem: I tried to get grouplist as below: $ sudo yum -d 0 grouplist and yum did not output a thing. The same problem with: $ sudo yum -d 1 grouplist This is probably due to usage of debig output functions instead normal output functions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-2.6.1-0.fc5.noarch How reproducible: always Actual results: No output. Expected results: List of groups.
-d0 and -d1 only show errors and warnings, respectively. Nothing which is just info (including things like grouplists)
1. I do not agree. When program's normal behaviour is to produce some output, it should do so without turning debugging on. And output in this case is implied by command line arguments. 2. When closing as NOTABUG you should at least provide some reasoning why it is not considered a bug. 3. This also does not work on FC6, updating version and reopening.
Sorry for #2 above, I missed your explanation. Anyway - I may want to take output from yom for further processing and I want to see ONLY what I requested. -d0 and -d1 show nothing, -d2 adds some irrelevant info like below: Loading "fedorakmod" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "allowdowngrade" plugin Loading "protectbase" plugin Loading "skip-broken" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin Loading "kernel-module" plugin Loading "downloadonly" plugin Setting up Group Process Setting up repositories Installed Groups: Office/Productivity ... Which is out of interest in such a case. As I mentioned in initial report - normal output should not go through debug facilities!
