Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 445336
gpg key retrieval ignores proxy settings
Last modified: 2014-01-21 18:02:33 EST
If I have installed a third party yum configuration file, which has a URL for the gpgkey setting, then gpg key retrieval will fail, because it seems yum is going direct to the remote site rather than using the proxy settings in its configuration file, and direct access doesn't work at my site. As a result the packages will fail to install.
Can you please post your yum version and any tracebacks you get on command line. That would help to fix the problem easily and early.
There is no traceback. It just takes ages at the retrieving gpg key stage and ends warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 36e812a2 GPG key retrieval failed: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')> and I can see from netstat that it is trying to retrieve the URL directly rather than obeying the proxy= configuration in yum.conf. This is with yum-3.2.16-2.fc9.noarch, also yum-3.2.8-2.fc8
I'm moving this off the blocker list, given that it's been true since at least 3.2.8 (pre Fedora 9 GA). We might still fix it for Fedora 10, it just doesn't seem like it should block anything.
This is fixed in upstream commit: 14ccb3cd86c89f5ae96f74f78210287e14943b68
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
As this bug is in MODIFIED, Fedora believes that a fix has been committed that resolves the problem listed in this bug report. If this is not the case, please re-open this report, noting the version of the package that you reproduced the bug against. Thanks for the report!
this is fixed in 3.2.21, or the soon-ish comming pre-release of same.
