Description Christopher Beland 2007-08-28 17:07:39 UTC
yum-3.2.2-1.fc7

If I run "yum install asdf" (intentionally an invalid package name) I
get the output:

> Setting up Install Process
> Parsing package install arguments
> Nothing to do

If I run "yum install firefox" (a package which is already installed)
I get the output:

> Setting up Install Process
> Parsing package install arguments
> Nothing to do

I would expect feedback in both cases, telling me either that the
named package was not available in the configured repositories, or
that the named package was already installed.

Output should be more obvious in yum 3.2.5

Comment 2 Christopher Beland 2007-09-13 19:29:39 UTC
For the second case, I do get an additional line with yum-3.2.5-1.fc7:

> Package firefox - 2.0.0.5-1.fc7.i386 is already installed.

But the output for the first case is still the same.

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2007-09-13 19:56:30 UTC
Whoops, missed that one.  Fixed up for 3.2.6.  Thanks for the quick turnaround
on testing.

Comment 4 Christopher Beland 2007-09-14 16:47:07 UTC
No problem, thanks for the quick fixes.

Comment 5 Christopher Beland 2008-06-29 02:39:05 UTC
Confirmed that all feedback is working as of yum-3.2.16-2.fc9.noarch.
