Description of problem: Yumex blanks out when updating with delta rpm. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yumex-2.0.4-1.fc8 yum-3.2.8-2.fc8 yum-presto-0.4.3-1.fc8 yum-utils-1.1.11-1.fc8 yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-1.fc8 yum-updatesd-0.9-1.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install and enable presto plugin for yum 2. Add a presto repository 3. Update using delta rpm Actual results: Yumex screen blanks out till the packages are downloaded and comes back to normal state when the download is complete Expected results: Additional info:
Known issue, if the some background action is not doing any callback, there is no way to update the gui, and it will grayout. it will be fixed in a future version of yumex, but a lot of redesign is needed.
But The same version 2.0.4 works perfectly in Rawhide with delta-rpms enabled.
Look like there is made some changes in the latest version of presto to don't break the download callbacks in yumex. And this is the right way to fix the issue. I will close the bug report. If the issue still there, the you might open a bug against presto instead.
