Description Chris Spencer 2008-02-02 20:21:02 UTC
Description of problem:
Yum becomes unresponsive after simple searches, consuming 100% CPU, and must be
killed. This problem is even more severe in pirut, where the GUI becomes unusable.

How reproducible:
Everytime.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum search rar
  
Actual results:
Yum cannot be aborted, runs indefinitely, and consumes a large amount of CPU.
Ctrl+C does not work, and the process must be killed.

Expected results:
Yum should not lockup, and should return results quickly. Even for large numbers
of matches, Yum should not require killing.

 A fix for this went into 3.2.10 which is already in rawhide, and that works for
me. Do you still have an older version?


Comment 2 Erik Terwan 2008-02-16 15:03:54 UTC
Same problem in Fedora 8.

Comment 3 Seth Vidal 2008-02-16 19:47:27 UTC
What version of yum are you using?



Comment 4 James Antill 2008-02-16 22:16:12 UTC
 If you want to fix this, do:

 yum install pygpgme
 yum --enablerepo=development install yum

...it's unlikely we'll fix this in Fedora 8 before Fedora 9 is released.
