Description Jakub 'Livio' Rusinek 2007-07-12 04:55:20 EDT

Description of problem:

yum-updatesd and pupplet is blocking access to yum instead of informing about
updates. Yes, it shows the info, but what when I don't have time to update and
want install software?

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


How reproducible:

Run Fedora, when updates daemon is enabled and try to install software, when
updates are available.

Actual results:

Blocked access.

Expected results:

Not blocked access.

Why is this filed against puppet ? Doesn't look like a puppet problem to me ..
please reassign to somebody more appropriate

Comment 2 David Lutterkort 2007-12-14 14:22:47 EST

Reassigning to Jeremy, since he's the owner of yum-updatesd

Strace of yum.  

I have the same situation.  If I try to install software I get the following
message: (e.g. from "yum install httpd").  My updates don't happen. I suspect
that I may have another repository active 

Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running as pid 16872.
Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...

Worse; yum-updatesd doesn't respond to kill -1 or kill -15.  I have to do a
kill -9 and risk (in theory) database corruption.  

This is with: yum-updatesd-3.2.8-2.fc7

Attached is an strace of yum-updatesd sitting there doing not much.

command history

I have the same problem, and no update until kill process which hangs...

Comment 6 Jakub 'Livio' Rusinek 2008-01-12 16:17:02 EST

Not sure if I should say this, but openSUSE has similliar issue with their
zypper :> .

Comment 7 Jeremy Katz 2008-05-28 15:04:40 EDT

Fedora 8's yum-updatesd should be a lot better in this respect
