Description James Antill 2008-09-18 22:10:48 UTC

Description of problem:
 With the very latest yum/rpm/yum-rhn-plugin/python combo. when you hit Control c on a download from RHN it just skips that package, which means the update will fail later as the rpm hasn't been fully downloaded.

 This is easy to see with the latest yum because everything is downloading in ascending order, just get a bunch of packages that need an update which are "big" and hit C-c in the middle of one of them:

(196/206): glibc-2.5-24.i686.rpm                         | 5.2 MB     00:01     
(197/206): libicu-3.6-5.11.1.i386.rpm                    | 5.2 MB     00:01     
(198/206): gcc-4.1.2-42.el5.i386.rpm                     | 5.2 MB     00:01     
(199/206): gtk2-2.10.4-20.el5.i386.rpm                   | 6.5 MB     00:01     
(200/206): mesa-libGL-6.5.1-7.5.el5.i386.rpm             | 4.7 MB     00:01     

 Current download cancelled, interrupt (ctrl-c) again within two seconds to exit.

(201/206): emacs-common-21.4-20.el5.i386.rpm             | 6.5 MB     00:01     

ls confirms:

Comment 2 James Antill 2008-09-19 06:30:28 UTC

Gah, this is a problem in the downloadonly plugin. Always has been, so I'll move it to 5.4.z.

Comment 3 James Antill 2008-09-19 06:43:35 UTC

 Fix is upstream in 431f22085e91fd030b5c9e9dfe219ad10af45cfc and is just:

diff --git a/plugins/downloadonly/downloadonly.py b/plugins/downloadonly/downloa
index a0541eb..8bbf7bb 100644
--- a/plugins/downloadonly/downloadonly.py
+++ b/plugins/downloadonly/downloadonly.py
@@ -40,5 +40,6 @@ def postreposetup_hook(conduit):
 
 def postdownload_hook(conduit):
     opts, commands = conduit.getCmdLine()
-    if opts.dlonly:
+    # Don't die on errors, or we'll never see them.
+    if not conduit.getErrors() and opts.dlonly:
         raise PluginYumExit('exiting because --downloadonly specified ')


...so we can still fix it for 5.3 if we want to?
