Hide Forgot
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-0.1.25smp i686) When running up2date on rawhide, during the "get headers for avilable packages" stage, I get an error saying OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files: '/dev/null' and up2date freezes up. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run up2date 2.Click on the next button as if you are going to run up2date 3.watch up2date hang. Here is the full output of the "core dump". [root@ool-18bb788d /root]# up2date Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/libglade.py", line 28, in __call__ File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/gui.py", line 250, in onStartPageNext File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/up2date.py", line 1729, in getUpdatedPackageList File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/up2date.py", line 777, in getHeaders File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/up2date.py", line 677, in getHeaderOffDisk File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date/up2date.py", line 950, in checkRpmMd5 OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files: '/dev/null' Also, here is the output from rpm -qa | grep up2date [root@ool-18bb788d /root]# rpm -qa | grep up2date up2date-gnome-2.5.1-1 up2date-2.5.1-1
I would imagine that this is probably happening while upgrading the "dev" package. Skip that one. Or, you can up the amount of open files in your kernel by cat'ing a larger number into /proc/sys/fs/file-max.
